You're so pedantic Rabbit 
You asked if I was saying people cannot be persuaded by others. I repeated what I'd said a couple of times already: that outside influence affects the decision process.
I was asking if you'd differentiate between will and choice a bit more, as your statement that "Will is about striving for a particular outcome not for the choice as such" ..didn't seem much of a distinction; or even apt in this case.
So are you saying that free will is not about choice but about being determined in what you've chosen?
I have no idea what you're getting at with the causal chain question.
Apparently our use for soul is currently outside your consideration. Which is fine. I assume you must substitute something else. Your soul is your state as a person. The sum of your mind and instincts which goes to make your identity. You can nurture a positive harmonious persona which would then lead to a balanced life. In a Christian worldview a balanced life is achieved through living right with God.
