Are we free? to choose? to live our life the way “we” want it to be?
Causality.
Everything has a cause. Everything we do has a cause. When we choose, our choices our bound by the intricate details of causes. I am writing this because I have been thinking about this topic for awhile because I have watched Matrix again and I have watched Matrix again because I saw a torrent of it and I saw a torrent of it because I was bored and wanted to look for a movie because… The sentence of life is an endless because.
Are we but dominoes falling as the former falls into us? I have been thinking of this for almost a week now and I really cant find any answer but the obvious one – ‘yes we are trapped in an illusion of freewill’.
Another cause of me writing this is to have closure so that I could once forget it and live my life without thinking of the intricate cause and effects that are happening. The only good effect to think of causality is to somehow prove God’s existence.
