Free Will

“Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be completely free? None of us really are free, but we enjoy pretending that we are. Why is it that you seek to be free when you can have everything you want right where you are. We all have a master to serve, don’t we? A parent to obey, a boss who gives us orders, a general who commands. As parents we are not use to being disobeyed and we strike out at those who dare to break their confinements from us.”
“Think on this, my children, who roam through the night believing they are indeed free. Whether you wish to believe it or not, you remain with your parents out of your own free will. Why, then, do you seek this thing called freedom when it has been there all along for you to take? Why do you listen to the rants of your boss when you stay at work of your own free will? Why don’t you leave since you believe it is in your own power to do so? Why not? Because you want to belong to someone, to have someone tell you what it is you should or should not do. Without that, the illusion of freedom would be gone and then where would you be?”
