Question:

Free will aside, don't we have choice?

Debate over free will goes on forever it seems. But with all the qualifications imposed by culture, up-bringinging, etc, don't we still have choice available, and making our choices acquire responsibility for the outcomes - for ourselves and others. Or do we not have choice -- or responsibility.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: one always has a choice no matter how or where or when they were brought up. the only problem is most people aren't smart/strong enough to stand up to whatever traditions, religions, opinions, ways of life they've been raised in and prefer to go along with the herd rather than pick their own course. it is easier that way. only a handful of us posess the intellect to realise we have a choice and the strength to go against the grain in deciding to chose differently than the herd.
