Certainly a choice has to be a conscious act. Thus it is our mind, which gives us free will. Yet our minds are programmed and determined by the circumstances of our environment.
When we are born, we are not given a choice. When we are infants our parents and guardians determined everything we were exposed too. When we become children we get a bit of freedom to make up our minds, yet these decisions have to be made by the mind, which was developed while we were infants.
As we become teenagers and then adults our decisions and the thoughts behind them are the results of our fate. One is not free to make any choice one wants because our choices are limited by our knowledge and our knowledge is determined by our experience, which is in turn determined by our environment.
The concept of free will does not apply to our world.
