Validity of Freewill

Rob...that sounds absolutely terrible. I hope things get sorted out for you. It sounds very complicated.

Patti...I would love to see her in an Easter onesie.

RE: Negativity Is Toxic ( Poisonous)

Validity of Freewill

Hello Jac,

True. There are some things we cannot escape even if we were to will against it happening to us. True too...freewill and opportunity are not the same. So can I ask, is freewill...freewill? In other words, is my ability to exercise my freewill the same as a billionaire's ability to exercise their freewill if I were living very poorly and relying on others because the cost of living is so high and I have no other choice but to do that?

Validity of Freewill

Patti...perhaps she had some eggs to tend to.

CC...interesting about freewill and the association with dreams. You know, I was told once...if you have a question about something, ask God before you go the sleep and you will get your answer in your dream. If it were not for a couple of people I had deep respect for, I most likely would not have tried it. However, I did try it once and I did actually get my answer. It came in a symbolic way in my dream. The bottom line...maybe we do have freewill with dreams... ...just some contemplating. Maybe there is something totally I am missing with this whole blog when it comes to freewill.

Anyway, thank you.

Rob...I totally agree with the approach of compassion to life's untraveled road(s) ahead and the ones traveled behind us. ...and karma... Just a thought though, what if one were caught up in the wrong moment at the wrong time and when one's freewill is to exercise compassion but the threatening deranged individual wants none of that. (and you have no way of escaping).

...or...

Well, I think I can continue on with many examples where one's freewill is being impeded upon...even in legal ways.....due to a lack of resources....lack of knowledge...

Ms Usha....so perhaps we are just living an illusion then? :)

By the way, I think you put things well.

Validity of Freewill

Hello Robert...it was a good Easter. I was able to spend it with my family, so not much more one can ask for. I hope your Easter was well too. I always look forward to your stories....thank you for taking the time to share them.

Validity of Freewill

LaF....I agree with that. For the most part, we do have choices. But in some cases, some have so little that they may not have many choices...in some extreme cases/situations...maybe none at all.

Validity of Freewill

Robert...looks like I was too late to read your stories. :(

RE: Back to Work

good for you. (nobody needs to tell you how important sleep is)

Happy Easter

Validity of Freewill

Hello Fargo...I wonder how widespread situations like that happen and yet we are fed the idea we have freewill. I wonder if it means we only have freewill when freewill applies. Don't get me wrong, I think for the most part we have freewill, but I don't think we have total freewill all the time.

Happy Easter.

Hello Dio....I totally agree. I wonder how it would be that if some choices that needed to be chose....could not be chosen...because the one choosing lacked the ability to make it happen...wonder how that works out in life.

Thank you.


Happy Easter

...ah Robert...always option available no matter what.

Happy Easter

Hello Volo...welcome to Earth.


Happy Easter.

Validity of Freewill

...probably why it took longer for me to respond.


Happy Easter Loh.

Validity of Freewill

Hello Patti...

Maybe one could practice free will at Goodwill then. ...even that place is getting pretty expensive.

Happy Easter.

I have it better than I have ever imagined.

Hello Merc...it was really an eye opener. There was so much she told me....one from my perspective had asked why, how...and maybe contemplated the thought that she had been the maker of her own situation. But...as soon as I put her shoe on and took mine off.

I used to think we were the sum of our decisions in life....and do believe that holds true for the most part. But there are some decisions where there are no choices....now I see.

I have it better than I have ever imagined.

Thank you BC....sometimes the things take for granted can really be one of the greatest gifts.

how do you respect

Luna, I have read your link and it was a good read. I encourage many to read it.

I have an issue equating the writer's interpretation of self-respect with selfishness. Everything else, makes a lot of sense to me.

Again, thank you for sharing.

Very interesting Frisky...thank you for that.

Hello Nice,

No.

Good advice CC.

how do you respect

Luna, I briefly checked out your link...I cannot wait to read it. Thank you for sharing it.

how do you respect

Hello Pat...I tried that....it is difficult for me to live with that sort of mindset. I think Rob form Australia was on to something with his post.

Thank you for your words.

how do you respect

Luna...

I tried living with not respecting him for 4 days and the weight that brought to my life was next to impossible to live with. I am not that type of person.

Thanks for your great words.

how do you respect

I will send you an application Patty.


The latest with this situation is that I apologized to him. I will not become a hateful and angry person. I will still use rational thought and reason.

RE: Covid Positive

Chell...I kind of wonder too if you did not get Covid due to your shots. I have hear of it before where people caught the virus right after their shots.

...sorry to hear about you lack of sleep...sounds like a familiar story to me
