We must believe in free will, we have absolutely no choice

   As a society we talk about free will all the time, the concept of "free will" has become a fundamental pillar of all religions and a subject of much debate among philosophers and weekend thinkers. But, why can't we agree at all on this concept? could it be because none of us really understand it? at least not completely and I'm inclined to think that we never will. It's as elusive as the concept of "thoughts" themselves, the "free will" idea seem to have been built with abstract bricks.

I'm thinking about thoughts...

   As ridiculous as that may sound, its not necessarily incorrect to say. This is basically an exercise in abstracts that none of us can expand on without relying on the crutches we ought to be avoiding. Who could explain plainly what a thought is, without using the word thought or its synonyms? In a similar way explaining the concept of "free will" becomes a regurgitation of conceptual clutches that many times were given to us by mainstream religious dogmas.

What about what you think? Do you happen to think of yourself as a master of your own thoughts? - Can any of us draw the lines where the randomness and chaotic pool of subconscious ideas become first filtered, then analyzed, then understood, then acted upon or not. Are those even all the steps? I'm sure I'm probably wrong, so... What is this whole thought about then?

Every question gives way to more...ehh more Questions?

I seem to be playing a logical puzzle, but that is not my true intent. I'm just confused because none of us seem to act as if we do not understand free will. Unless of course, we are medically insane, then yes, then we are not aware of it, we simply can't. Wait a second, Is that last statement even true? Think about that for a second, a man could kill another and be deemed mentally insane, be deemed not responsible for his actions because he did not act of his own volition, which is fancier word for free will, there is the "concept" yet again.

So... Does this mean that without free will we would be insane?

It seems to be the argument, at least it does for the courts that write the human laws. We all accept it to be true and operate as if it is, yet the proposition and/or supposition seems to be defeated comically by the title of this very blog, and yet you read along as if it was sound truth.

If I'm confusing you, I apologize, but the truth is I seem to confuse myself most of the time. I guess my intention is to add a mental hurdle or two into my own life as to not ever get bored, at least not in a bad way that is. Who would ask the hard questions to myself, if not me? And then again... Why would I wish to question my logical crutches, don't I need them to operate as a sapient sapiens?

Off the deep end, or am I playing games?

Maybe, I'm not sure, but what I do know is that its OK to not know sometimes. It might even be healthy to know that you don't know some things that everyone pretends to know, I find it quite liberating if I'm to be honest.

You know, It's in unique days like today that these questions, these ideas pop into my head and I wonder why? The irony has my mind a bit too entertained... its April's fool and also Easter, let that sink in.

Where was I, on Free Will? Yes, Yes.... I still don't know what it means, do you?
