We may not have the freedom to choose everything, but we have the ultimate choice -- the ability to choose the attitude we will take to the options available to us. Good to see you here! :-)Roland D.

Those who deny free will are usually cowards (as opposed to the the cowed), who don't have the courage to take responsibility for their choices. For them, it's always someone else's fault. <br /><br /><a href="http://vrbarkowski.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">VR Barkowski</a>VR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-50472618375159569212013-06-08T23:33:25.385-05:002013-06-08T23:33:25.385-05:00Words Crafter:

I agree about freedom being an illusion. As is control. We may want to do or say or be...yet circumstances, situations, and expectations often negate those desires. History, DNA, and personality make us who and what we are. Basically, the only freedom we have is what we make of it. Yet, again, to a degree, we are still limited. Gee, I can talk myself into a circle here :))The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.com
