Question 9

I don't think we actually have "freewill". Our actions are always caused by other events. For example, when I choose what to wear, I won't choose something very odd, because I certainly know that this is out of fashion. So at this point, the fashion trend is determining what I would wear. Therefore as this choice was not my sole will, I can't say I was free to choose. I might say I was forced to choose. Also, because of our instict, we might not be free. For example, when we are hungry, we automatically look for food. It's not that I'm brainstorming whether to eat or not, but I'm just following my instinct, which is not my freewill. Therefore, in our life, I don't think I have freewill, but we choose something that is already determined.
