Choice is the free will to choose between once one option or another.
But isn't choosing between one option or another what choice means? So we could use these two ways of expressing the same idea interchangeably, yes? And so, we've got:
Quote: The act of choosing is the free will of choosing.
Now, cut out the middleman entirely and we've got:
Quote: The act of choosing is choosing.
Or, simpler:
Quote: Choosing is choosing.
What I want to ask you is, what does the idea of free will add to that tautological statement so that it adds some tangible meaning to it?
