In our section last week, we talked about free will- whether or not we have it, whether anyone can really have it... I think it's interesting that we may be programmed to believe what we're going to believe, by chemical interactions in our heads, which would really limit the concept of free will...or does free will start after that point? Start after, if we are perhaps so programmed, within than program for us to make our own choices?  If we have no free will, does that mean we have no will power?  At the same time... we can say free will does not exist- that are choices are made for us, but is that really helpful?  It takes away responsibility from us on nearly all levels.. but, on the other side, if we really have no ultimate control over our choices- if we labor to make a decision that ultimately has already been made for us, then we're just programs waiting to play out... just waiting for time to pass and for our programmed decisions to be made..
