And/Or Free will

And/Or Free will

A Poem by Eduardo Bautista

Everyone had the opportunity
to make a choice
Inspired by what have been learned
from mistakes experienced
and regrets that could have been avoided.

Choose what is right?
and be law abiding, taking heed as order dictates,
Or give in to what is wrong?
pleasing oneself, heading to who you are, or to self-destruction.

But subjectivity and/or free will interweaves
from tradition it took the limelight
revealing a hidden face:
a deception of one's own decision;
or a portrait of honest perspective.

Indeed freewill is a gift. We are gifted with this chance to make our own choices...and/or privilege. But every right has an equal responsibility to our fellowmen. We can make our choice, do our will but we should insure that we are not blocking others' rights and choices, too.

A very remarkable piece. Thanks for sharing this.

Fascinating subject isn't it? Whatever is right about free will, there are always alternatives...or seemingly. What occurs to us at one point in life, we later discover is not at all the end of it.
