Free will in the face of coincidence may be one of those intriguing paradoxes in life ;-)<BR/><BR/>In my experience, we may not have as much control as we'd like over happens to us (or anyone else actually), but the choice we DO possess in any instance is how to respond to what happens ... and to me, choosing becomes a functional definition of "free will". <BR/><BR/>Perhaps we can be "right" or "happy" ... but not necessarily both simultaneously?storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101550406171982090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5340188638004370422.post-59345769732861547142007-11-21T15:00:00.000-08:002007-11-21T15:00:00.000-08:00Those are quite lovely quotations.

I try to balance that with the knowledge that we all have free will and can shape our own destinies. I just don't know how much we can shape them.Liz Dwyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.com
