Arthur Schopenhauer said, “A man can do as he wills, but not will as he wills.”
I take this to mean that we, as people, have free will in as much as that we can do whatever we want to do. But, free will is limited by what it is that we want, which we have no control over. We have no control over what we want. We may inhibit our actions in response to our wants– and maybe we can repress these wants for years– but we will always have those desires.
And, no, I’m not gay.
I haven’t had a discussion on my site in forever, so please, discuss.
