Given a choice, one has options. Usually, one of two.
Free will is just that.

What we're trying to tell you is that there are processes going on in your brain, at any given moment, that you are absolutely unaware of. Those processes make up who you are and govern your actions, and you have absolutely no control over them. You can't control what you're thinking. That would mean you'd have to be thinking a thought before you're thinking it, which is nonsense. Just so, you can't decide what decisions you're going to make before making any decisions. All of these things, your thoughts, your actions, your decisions, you experience them, but you don't control them. You experience control, but you don't have it.
