Free will and Determinism are two ways that we view the world as humans. The determinism assumes that you had some per-determined cause or influence to make a decision or you did it because you thought it was best. Great minds have discussed this topic for years and there has not been able to be a sufficient answer with evidence. An article that I found agrees with the explanation that I have given
This article shows some of evidence but still not overwhelming to side with their beliefs. The article believes that determinism is more of what we use and do rather than free will. Free will according to this source is something that can never be obtained unless you are not from this world. Choices towards free will mean you need to make choices from the start, which is argued that it never is because of the fact of laws and other authority figures.
I do agree with this article to an extent. It still seems that there is free will in many regards such as this blog I am typing right now. Its my choice to do it and there will be consequences whether I do it or not. The question begins is it worth it?
It seems that total freedom would only be possible without social and physical restrictions. Surely, the freedom to choose is prevalent, but the choices available are only specific to a certain time, a certain social class, a certain person. Freedom is relative to these factors, as well as a person's interpretation of how free they are. Perhaps even when there is much freedom to choose, humans feel constrained by their social boundaries. This is another way that total freedom may not be possible.
