Freedom, is it simply the delusion that we in fact are in control of our own destiny/fate?
Is it indeed selfish to believe that we only have control of our own lives? our every decision has no doubt consequences around the entire globe. Each and every action a small ripple in a huge sea of existence. Does this make it worth while?
Consequence, undoubted mostly feared, so much so many of choose to disregard the thought of what COULD happen, something that MIGHT conspire. Why? Can we ourselves not justify our own actions/decisions? What right do we have? What Judgement can we pass thats not our own?
Is there no freedom anymore? When our minds are made up from initial meetings and viewings? In a fast world we live in speedy determination. There is no luxury of weighing out opinion when once the moment is gone it's gone, and the moment in contemporary times moves faster than ever.
If i gave you a knife and said stab this person (a person being evident beside or in front of you) whilst holding a gun to your head what would be your choice? In such a modern time as we live the judgment is almost sudden, I could not even say i was going to shoot you, but in the fear of the present, death looms on our every instance. Herein lies the crux of my subject matter. If i was to give you a CHOICE would you even MAKE a choice? Would you even consider it to be a open interpretation of your own behalf?
How about if instead of one button to kill someone i gave you 5 buttons, maybe even ten, would you press them all just to seek the consequence? A ROOM covered in buttons, only ONE of which I say will kill someone, would you go out of your way to press each and every one to determine a outcome? Is your curiosity more powerful than your humanity?

The Freewill
Choice, is it all that we have? Or is all we have the illusion of
choice?
Do or don't, there are no garantees. The physical and possibles fall
away when we realise that in the slightest second wasted we could
simply cease to exist, along with the rest if reality. Does thus mean
we should live our lives on instinct? Trust our gut? We have evoled,
become more interlectual, gained more awareness of ourselves and
everything around us. Is this our weakness though? Is what the human
race missing the pure animalistic and primeval? Have we lost our
nerve? Perhaps we are now simply cornering ourselves with just too
much to think about. Our knowledge holding us so high on uneven ground.
Freewill, freedom isn't always the best.
