The Essence of Free Will

Free Will, the act of expressing yourself in the way you want. Free Will, a unique aspect of individuality within every being. I have heard that you cannot impede someone else Free Will, for the most part I would agree.

One example that could be used is the effect of persuasion or the act of trying to force someone to do as you wish. Take the act of torture, the will of the tortured is to not do as told, however, take the right method and they will tell you out of their own Free Will. This scenario is an example of how most Free Will impediments tend to occur in the mind. Some other impediments of Free Will cannot be explained easily or at all if Free Will can’t be impeded.

Let’s take a look at common acts of violence of humans such as rape and murder. This is an area that I unfortunately lack effective explanations for, however, I will try to explain what I think allows this to happen. Let’s say you don’t expect something to happen but at the same time don’t alter your Free Will with the knowing or faith or to trust that it won’t happen either. This has the effect of opening up the possibility for it to happen as well as to not happen. Even if it does happen you still have the option of fight or flight.
