Source of the Rivers of Eden
Some choices take years for the individual to be prepared to make them. St. Paul's Road to Damascus wasn't paved in one day; it took a while.
Our idea of Free Will reduces to the notion of Chatter: the inability to perceive through the cosmic background noise that permeates our lives.
Freedom is silent. It does not necessarily chatter, debate, argue, converse. It is humility in the face of creation.
Persuasion needs words and intrusion. Exploitation needs logic and argument and force. Compulsion needs violence and obsession. Our notion of Free Will is indeed Slavery.

Hmmm!
There's freedom and there's freedom, and is almost existential.
We have it and don't have it. Depending on how you look at is.
Well put.
It is more of a talking point than a reality...
I like that way of looking at things.
