Free Will.

[ZenitYerkes]

It might look like something bombastic, but how if we weren't actually free or have free will? How if the only thing we are, is our conscience; the only thing we've got certain is that we exist, but cannot actually control what we do?

Let me explain myself. If we were determined by our environment, by genetics, by previous experiences; wouldn't that have been enough to configure our mindsets to prefer this or that instead of any other thing, what to decide, how to act and express ourselves (if I hadn't read the books I've read, I wouldn't have the vocabulary and forms of expression I've got now).

What I mean is, do we actually have free will? Or is the "software" of the brain only controlled by what we have lived, and not our conscience?

Do we control ourselves, or do the circumstances do it for us?
