    Determinism…and it’s interpretation by me

    “The theory of Determinism, in which the will is determined or swayed to a particular course by external inducements and forced habits, so that the consciousness of freedom rests chiefly upon an oblivion of the antecedents of our choice.”

             -http://www.informationphilosopher.com/freedom/determinism.html

    so basically…this idea is saying that every action/event/feeling that we have in our lives and experience on a daily basis is a direct cause of something else. This is the fight for whether or not humans actually have “free will.” Our reactions of every day things are just somewhere we’ve already been. That’s why it is “comfortable” to do things one has done before..because we already know what will happen. To break this cycle, one must be open to anything because there, the possibilities are endless. That is why we feel most free when new experiences rise from taking risks and why we are so surprised/confused when something we are “used to” leads us to a different resolution. But if you’re open to new possibilities, your own individual possibilities are therefore endless. Think about it, when you have nothing to do, we get confused and down and upset and mistake this feeling as loneliness or sadness. Those negative feelings are only a result of not having a direct cause as to what our actions should be. So, when pondering your own free will one day, it has to be a day where you have, physically speaking, nothing to do. When you wake up on a Sunday morning, sit in your bed, and actually make a decision about what your next step will be. Although technically you can say that that choice was the effect of something that caused it (ie: nothing to do =cause, going for a run=effect) but it’ll excersize your “free will” more so than doing the same things one always does. This is when one might lose themselves to negativity and bad feelings and confusion. Your mind is telling you all of the time what it wants to do, what you are meant to do, just listen to it next time instead of fighting it…
