Free will is what surrounds you on a continual basis. It is what poses a choice between standing or sitting, loving or leaving and coming and going.

When you think about it, with each action comes a change in the course of your life. By walking on one side of the road instead of the other, you may arrive at your destination a half second earlier. That half second can make all the difference in the world. Such as presenting someone/something to you that you would have otherwise missed had you arrived that half second later.

It's funny what a low emphasis we place on small amounts of time such as these, given that they pose just as large an emphasis on the direction of our lives as extended ones we believe to do the same.

It's kind of funny when you think about it, really. Just by reading this post you have completely changed your life. You could have passed on it, decided to leave the house and arrived to be the sole witness in a massive car wreck just outside your door. Instead, you're here, wondering what kind of accident it would have been.

It truly amazes me what a complicated fixture this game of life can be sometimes.
