I was talking about freewill sometime ago. As I began reading Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged' again, I found this: “That which you call your soul or spirit is your consciousness, and
that which you call ‘free will’ is your mind’s freedom to think or not, the only will you have, your only
freedom, the choice that controls all the choices you make and determines your
life and your character.”
“ What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? It's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” -- Jack Kerouac (American Poet and Novelist) From what I have seen and admired in humans, they are eternal optimists. Goodbyes seem to break us, but we straighten up and walk, holding our head high, blinking away our tears. And as regards the specks of people dispersing, when something moves away, something else comes near. Guess that's how laws of nature move. If a time comes when nothing else comes near, it's when we will become really alone; alone to live and love life without any reason, taking the next step forward.
