I think free will i an illusion. We are made to think that we are acting of our own volition when in truth like robot from the moment we are born our programming starts. We are given a name, told of to act, what to wear, when to sleep etc. The end result is that we become what we are made.

In ordering clear and easy to understand the world, which we call generic "laws of creation", we humans have been gifted with the principle of free will. Although often violated principle seems to understand that you have to endure one thing or another, we call on him when we think we are wronged. Because we do not find any explanation, we think that we are returning those kicks are nothing but "harvest" of what we "sow", or even of what we have done previously. Free will, instrument man, makes him able to take some decisions and to integrate the creation by his own will, is crucial for its entire existence. Follow the conclusion that we alone are the ones who condemn us, because we ourselves decide what direction to go. It is unfortunate in this situation that we think when we take a decision that we will bear all the consequences implied by our choice. Smothered in us from the beginning, vigilance should help us recognize our mistakes of behavior because, if not so, would mean to live at odds with ourselves, which nobody really wants. We prefer then to suppress the inner voice which warns us and continue our daily life, ignoring her. But striving to be self-help is appreciated for all that live, because it must always go in a constructive direction, in accordance with the laws of creation.

Perhaps it's time to choose something different and see what happens.

I think free will is the wisdom of knowing how to choose and how not to be controlled. Following norms of the society does not mean the impairment of free will. We can break free from it all and take the risk of being condemned. But when one is wise, he can choose not to be controlled by the norms and set up his or her own standard. So I think free will is about wisdom.
