ME!! wrote:. its such a clouded subject. one the one hand, you have you peers, mass marketing, the government, the police, ect... telling you what to do. your god even tells you what to do if u have one (even christians who harp on humans having free will like theres no tomorrow)..... yet on the other side YOU make your choices at the end of the day. the first side will respond to that with you produce your answers as a resonse of your stimuli. i personally think this:
its a give take ying yang mind fuck. yea you DO make your decisions at the end of the day. your free will lies in how much to please other sources it lies in.
you make your choices within a limited spectrum of allowances ( laws, gov, peers. money, signifigant others). free will is often considered greedy in this regard because if you do something that steps on the toes of someone you supposedly care about then
your being greedy....... um yea. go figure.
free will exists in the power struggle of what you can get away with. but your stimuli-thru-life will dictate the choices herein that you use to make your selection, which removes even more of the FREE from free will.
so wrapping this up without a three page paper:
A)free will isnt that great becaues its deducted from so much......
B)free will has stipulations on it all the way across
C) your selections may already be made for you because of fear of external response.
so free will is a teeny tiny little violin to play your sadness on.
because in the end, your free will is really only your freedom to debate it and have emotions around it. sometimes you get lucky and its your selection......
:whew:
