It made me think perhaps this is a clue from which we can better understand our freedom. We can will whatever we wish but still we are limited in that we can not know for certain the outcome. But all the same it is better to choose and be in error in regards to things we can not know than to delay choice for sake of our limitations. However, if we were to have no limit to our knowledge-that is being atemporal in our perspective-we would then understand choice quite a bit differently. And out of that I must say we would understand freedom much differently. To put it plainly: this thought sparked for me a new perspective on the freedom of individual in light of a cause-and-effect world.<BR/>This is all to say that I am encouraged by your thoughts on fate's orchestration of the paths of life, and I hope that we will see all the more how intimate and purposeful fate has been to us as the paths we tread beyond beget more and more clarity. Inspiring thought jon. I miss your conversation, and because of that I can't bring myself to respond to your email.Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285246819169931229noreply@blogger.com
