If, on reflection, the change was not necessary, finding peace will prove simple. Otherwise the question becomes “Was I right to ask this of you?”
Fate as determined by an outside force beyond our control is a bad thing. As sapient beings, we deserve to be able to shape our own experiences, not have them shaped entirely outside of our control.
This is why I like Zombie’s use of the term sapience to better describe the situation we’re discussing. It dismisses the semantics of whether or not one is in control but instead puts emphasis on our ability to reflect on things and reach conclusions based upon our contemplation and insight.
Or she realized that she became immortal way too early. The tiny princess will look really silly.
I’m describing ‘free will’ as anything other than impulse you do lots of things on impulse but sometimes you stop and realize you don’t want to do it
It’s something I do to divide actions of the brain into two parts those you do just because and those you do for a reason; just because the action would never change in any instance doesn’t mean there wasn’t thought put into it
I think that is a good way to put things. The act of introspection after the fact or before it has a good chance to change our patterns of behavior.
So, I think it doesn’t follow that you could have free will if you can’t consciously understand the process by which your decision arises.
Also, it’s probably a good thing we have limitations, biologically speaking. Just because we can do something, doesn’t mean it’s good for us or others.
I think sapience is a better term for the free will thing. Wondering why we do what we do.
but the rejection of the call thing is just implying that fate (if a real thing) is inevitable which purely by the definition of fate it is
So, it’s an inevitable step towards a fate that provides context and levity. It’s not about choice so much as it’s about the emotional experience and pathos that needs to be overcome to better accept our future.
Seems like a raw deal.
Hear that Impious?
Being ever the perceptive one, however, Sweetie Belle realizes she will watch her family die, will never have control of her destiny, and will never be a mother.
Cue soul-crushing heartbreak and wild panic.
