Do We Really Have Free Will, or Are We Afraid of the Consequences of Our Actions?

I am not saying that we do not have the freedom to talk or do what we like. But Newton's law explains it all.

Newton said, and I quote, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." We have to think twice before we put our plans into action because sometimes, the output of our actions or the reactions that follow may not be palatable to us.

I am not saying that we cannot talk, but what we say can boomerang or cause a dilemma. Let's take, for instance, the decision to abuse the president of a nation. The law enforcement agencies can come after you. The police or the soldiers can decide to respond to you in a manner or approach that you may not like, depending on the gravity of your action.

Some people decide not to talk or choose to keep quiet, that is, stay mute, when they notice certain things. However, you should know that their silence does not mean they do not know what is happening. Their silence may actually be because they are considering the possible reactions and consequences of speaking out.

The topic of whether we really have free will or are just scared or afraid of the consequences of our actions is a very deep one.

It is not that I can't buy the latest iPhone, but what do I need it for? The current phone I am using is enough to perform the tasks assigned to it.

Additionally, a friend of mine once said something about saving for something that, when bought, would bring many benefits. In that case, one is avoiding the consequences of one's actions because, one day, they may definitely boomerang.

There are times when I personally become scared to make a decision or take an action because I am afraid of failing. Yet, one must fail to climb that ladder of success, just like my friend Arnold Schwarzenegger would say.

let me share a little about my love life.

Now, there was this girl I liked back in secondary school. You know, secondary school admiration!

So, I told her that I liked her and that we should keep in touch until we were old enough.

We were really close, and the love looked so real. Over time, our friendship became stronger.

In school, she would give me assignments, pray for me and do many more things. Every status of mine was liked by this person, and I felt she was my number one supporter.

After admission, our communication reduced, and we no longer talked as we used to.

However, she always tried to keep the relationship alive by asking about my well-being, after which we would discuss random things.

I clearly made her understand that we were friends, just friends, because I was not certain about my tomorrow. And we were cool with one another, still chatting as usual.

But soon, she told me that she was sorry and that all bonds have now been broken.

I didn't feel bitter, nor was I remorseful. I was just happy that she had moved on. Early marriage, especially for a first child like me with a lot of responsibilities, is crazy in a world like this.

The consequences may be unpalatable.

However, not all situations do we consider the consequences of our actions. To me, this can be called sacrifice or love.

For instance, I know that I would be broke, but I choose to release my last penny. Love!

At least, we have heard of situations where a woman would not leave a man for a very long time, even when the man is desperate, broke or does not have money. Sometimes, the woman may even be the one sponsoring the relationship. And when you ask why, she says it is because of love.

So, sacrifice is something that does not necessarily care about the outcome or consequences of our actions. That is love. It does not know whether it is cold or hot. It always passes through, even when there are ups and downs. It is consistent; it persists.

So, I think this is where I round up my post for today.

Thank you so much, and God bless you. Thanks for visiting my blog. Bye!
