Free will is a paradox

Man is the most blessed of all living things on this planet for he has the ability to think and put his thoughts into action. He has the ability to choose ... right or wrong .. truth or lies .. fact or fiction...

But this profound feeling of free will is a paradox hidden within abstractions of space, time, knowledge ...

You are living in a free country but you must follow the laws of the land ...
You are free to choose .... but you are not free to decide or observe the consequences of your choice ....
You have this second to make a move, but that second speeds past and is no longer there as you assimilate that fact ....

Free will in its current form is about joining the system, adhering to it ..... it is a hallucination.. one that is required to sustain oneself .... the wars of the world are about people who are chasing this dream called free will ...

Kadhaigal .... kanavugal ... welcome to my blog !
I am writing after years .. would love any comments and feedback.

Best,

Do we really have the ability to choose? Or do the circumstances of our life, our preferences, our like/dislikes, wants or feelings do the "choosing" for us.
