Time for a philosophical post

Strictly speaking, free will does not exist. Every action a person does is influenced, whether indirectly or directly, by the actions done to him. Any and every action we do is all part of a chain reaction, the longest and greatest chain reaction ever. Not just that, but every action we do will also spark off its own chain of events that might converge with another's. That being said, theoratically it is possible to list out the entire future.

But its impossible for this to be believed world wide.

Because if it was, then the law would be useless.

Using an example, if a man decides to steal something, say, a loaf of bread, and gets caught, wouldn't he be sentenced to jail simply because he decided to steal that loaf of bread? However, this man's action of stealing the loaf of bread is but the result of the ongoing chain reaction. Therfore, it is not fair to sentence him to jail simply because he is following the chain of events.

So, what do we do?

We create the illusion of free will

An illusion that allows us to believe, to live with, ourselves. It is only through this illusion that you can ever blame someone for doing something.

So think about it, what does freedom truly mean, if we are forever bound to do what the chain of events dictates?

Scary, isn't it?

Now thats said and done, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

Oh yea, and I changed my handphone number. Its now 96985010
