By saying we are in control of our lives, what does that mean exactly?
Do you think every human is in full control of their life?
Do you think freewill exists?
Well, like I said, everything has limits, so we have control over our lives to an extent. We can make everything of ourselves if we try, and trying is a part of life, but we only have so much control, especially as humans. I probably should have clarified that.
As for free will, it is kind of a mixed bag for me. I do believe it exists, but I think it is kind of exaggerated by some humans. I mean, there are consequences of our actions, but some people don't seem to recognize that.
I believe if we had true free will, we would choose consequences as well as what we choose to do. To me, in that case, we would be truly free. Of course, we don't have free will to that extent. I do not think there are enough humans who understand free will.
I mean, there is no limit as to what we can choose, theoretically speaking, but only theoretically, maybe. There are often factors in situations that may limit how we choose things.
