I feel like I am very very set in my beliefs about freedom. I think we ALWAYS have choices for everything we do. True, there are gatekeepers who may prevent us from carrying out certain choices but the fact of the matter is the choices are THERE. Our freedom may sometimes be limited or restricted (such as a man behind bars)... but in general, humanity exists with free will. It is inherent to how we function in life.

I would agree that we always have choices. Think about going a whole day without deciding anything...you would never even get out of bed, because that alone is something you have to tell yourself to do. So, sometimes our choices are restricted, but always they are there.

We definitely have choices all the time, and we are the ones that make them. but i think the argument is whether or not those are the only choices we can make. it's hard to disprove that, because we say we can make any choices we want, but then how do we know if those are the only choices we make? i'm starting to confuse myself just by thinking about it
