Freedom of will means to do whatever we want to do in our life. It means the overall freedom of our life even if it is good or bad. But are we really free to do everything in our society ? Or we are bound to follow the rules and regulations ?Are we really getting the freedom we need ?

There's just a simple explanation in every countries law
"You cannot compromise others freedom while utilizing yours."

And there too are moral obligations
"Your life in not entirely yours, you have responsibility towards your family, society and nation."

Absolute freedom does not exist. There is only a conscious need.

The freedom of will could exist only if you live out of society.
Society made a lot of rules which are agains the freedom of will. Even more, I think these rules where created to destroy freedom of will.

We all of freedom of will to do anything that we like but the rules and regulations are put into place so that our freedom of will does not infringe on that of others in the first place.

basically human beings are free with the proof of al books and religions handed down by his god, and human beings are free to do anything but their freedoms are restricted by other human freedom, so that religious hope for harmonization among human beings without restrain their creativity and freedom,

What if the freedom of will is just an illusion, and that all our actions have already been fated. :O

The question about freedom of will is a quite ancient one. In a deterministic universe, how could freedom of will possibly exist? However, for sure someone has a will which looks to be more free than the will of others...

In my opinion, freedom is the right of man to achieve the happiness of the individual without undermining the freedom of another individual.
We have all kinds of freedoms, choose good freedoms that do not break the rules. make the good things, the best we can do every day.
Always choose the best response, good thoughts and emotions, at every turn, run every freedom and our life with positive energy

Freedom of will is a privilege of the very few; those who are bold enough to be honest with themselves and know what they want

Try not paying your taxes for an extended period of time and you will learn how free you truly are. Good luck.

it depends how you define freedom, if you want to experience absolute freedom then play a video game with the console command and cheat whatever you want to have, people tend not to play this types of games for long cause they get boring quickly

regards

No one can call himself or herself an absolutely free person. We all depend on society, family, economy and even nature.

all people have freedom, because it is a form of Human Rights .. whatever they want they can do as they wish as long as not beyond the norms that exist

People just shouldn't get freedom to do whatever they want. Or it'll be result in pure chaos in society.

There is Freedom of Will in the society, but also written consequential effects. Laws created by man to limit your actions.

For me the true meaning of freedom is everything that you do with compassion, every little thing that you do and makes you happy is freedom. As long as you respect others and you have humility.

Freedom should be one of the essential rights for everone in every country, however we need to remember about the social contract theory, that restricts the freedom for the safety.

Would you allow someone to hurt you in the name of freedom of will?
Absolute freedom does not exist as everything in our world is relative.

Pretty good thing to talk about. This is also very skeletal. If  you do things based on the freedom that you currently have you should also make sure that it will not affect others. Laws are given to protect others freedom as well. To make it simple you can do all the things that you want with your own body yet you cannot simply do all that things to others.

Will you free from any imprisonment of your sin? Your self will way of life that leads to destruction. Real freedom comes only by the power of God's love in Christ Jesus. This freedom brings liberty from the bondage of life sin. Our highest value is in the will of God more than in our own will, and this is the true freedom of will. ;D ;D ;D

Will is the very fact of having desires, goals, aspirations.
Willpower is the ability to achieve goals and desires through the application of conscious effort. Freedom of will is the ability to choose one's goals and desires for oneself.

Well I think there is no simple yes or no answer here because it is a mixed bag. Yes we do have freedom in the sense that I can do almost anything I want but on the flip side no I dont have freedom because money is a limiting factor. Other than $ being a limiting factor I think everything on this planet is doable it requires money only. They see freedom of will is an illusion and that we are pushed to do certain things but I dont buy into that notion at all. Right now I work from behind a computer but nothing stops me today from going out and starting to become a electrician. Everything is in my own hands and I can do 99% of things I want at a moments notice!

Freedom of will is our chance and freedom to express our beliefs our choice our  and our feeling to the society for them to hear us and know what we want and what we think. Every one has the freedom of will, we must use it.

Of course , we are bound to follow the rules and regulations of our society. As a result of this , human beings will never be completely free in this world. We must obey the rules which are not convenient for our mindset. This makes people unhappy but this is true reality.

In most of the cases there is no freedom of will. No one can do anything wanted. All the people need to follow some ethics.

Freedom must first of all be inside, be free from prejudice and free in its actions. but many social aspects do not always easily allow us to act freely.. I think that even now freedom have to be defended by everyone

Freedom of will is being able to do all things or whatever you like or hearts desire.  Its being able to free yourself without any constraints and doing what you love without having any regrets.

Most of us are getting the freedom that we really need, but most of that are only for rich people. How can we be free, if we don't have enough money to travel, go bungee jumping or go on cruise. Our freedom is limited due to lack of money.

if you are not rich. if there are some things you will lose. if you do not know yourself. and most importantly if you do not have a good family, you will never be a willing person. will is very important. human beings must be. and the freedom of will must surely be.

There is no freedom without responsibility.
To be responsible means to follow rules and laws.
For example, if you drive car to fast, you may kill others or yourself.
So, real freedom is not anarchy or chaos.
Real freedom means to act as responsible person and to follow rules and laws.

freedom will bring us in the things we prefer, but remember, that freedom should still be there is a limit, because I think there is no absolute freedom.

I think the best answer would be that freedom is us having an ability to do and think what we want irregardless of tules and regulations that society has us in its tracks. Freedom of will is something that we should always be wary though as it can also be quickly denied

freedom or free will is the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded.
Yes of course,we will get our need .freedom is free choice.

Freedom is not based on free will itself, While freedom gives us free will, we must be responsible of what we must and must not do. Our society have rules because it is our guidance towards being responsible human beings.

I think freedom is to do everything we want without harming others   8)

the concept of free will is very closely connected to the concept of moral responsibility. moreover, in society, free will is not about how you act freely either good or bad but it is about how you act freely without harming others. I think people don't need any freedom if they are happy and able to do and get what they have expected. freedom is about happiness.

For me freedom of will is doing whatever you want to do. Being free of going something according to your will and decisions in life. No one can interfere from something that you already decided. That freedom can be use to achieve something on your own good way whatever it goes.

Freedom comes with responsibity. Its not just about doing anything you want but being responsible for your actions. If everyone can do whateber they want its anarchy and chaos. That why freedom as well is regulated

for me we can do what ever we want, but remember that everything has to have limitations, without limitations, everything will be chaotic, that is why we got law and rules.

Definitely in modern society scream about freedom at every corner but for the fact we do not have much freedom in our choices

every human being born in the world they have the freedom of will and do whatever they want, all have the right to gain freedom among the existing rules, but they must also follow the rules of rules that have been made in their respective countries, because they live nation and tribe the tribe surely they have rules that have been made to straighten the wishes of each country

Self determination decisions like the other ones we do in life that many argue

Freedom of will, I first encounter it in the Bible. Simplify as 'FREE WILL', by God letting us to do what ever we want. Just to test us if we listen to him, just like Adam and Eve.

Free will is the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded. Free will is closely linked to the concepts of responsibility, praise, guilt, sin, and other judgments which apply only to actions that are freely chosen.

Freedom of will. From the beginning we have the right to do what we want unless it does not violate any rule, order or law. We may say freedom of will does not exist at all because as a part of a society we are obligated to do things according to the law.

Freedom of will is a privileged of few. those who are honest to themselves. Also Freedom is different in all the people it is different on what is your definition of freedom. For me, there is no person who is completely free. We all have responsibility in our family, society, economy and even nature.

as good citizens should obey the rules. remember the rules are made so that we do not violate and perform actions that are not true, freedom may mengasikan, but there are limits, because we do not live alone but live with many people

We all have different definition of freedom. I think that our lives in not absolutely ours we have obligations in our family, society and law.

Freedom is everything that we can get on our rights as a citizen, is not doing something good or bad. Although given the regulations, as long as the regulation does not interfere with our rights as citizens, will not reduce our freedom as citizens.

It doesn't matter. We have control over our actions and emotions. Chose to be yourself, always.

Freedom is when you are free to do any "good" thing, remember "good thing". Freedom does not mean you are free to do anything even bad. If so then we do not need a cop, no prison, no law. Thank goodness we still need all that.

we are free to do everything we want but we are also bound with the laws. As long as your freedom makes the society a beneficial one, then its good. But if your freedom affects your country or your self, then you have to think twice. Life is a balance wheel, we have freedom and there are laws.

Our will of freedom is the one gave it to human by God, were He did not interfere it to a human being like us. Because of our will we can do good and bad things now its up to us which of the two we are going to apply most of the time.

Exactly. Freedom of will does not mean doing whatever we want whether our religion accepts or rejects that action. Freedom of will means to carry out an action keeping in mind the rules and limits of our religion.  Making God's will our own will is the real freedom of will and in this way we will be satisfied and blessed. 

It's not a total freedom, we are bound to follow the rules of our society, otherwise we will be affecting people around us. Rules/ laws are being made so to protect our rights too. Come to think of it, if there are no rules and you are enjoying your freedom, and some bastards rob your property and kick you out of your house and declare that the house is theirs.

 But when it comes to our life alone, it is a total freedom except if you are stayin with someone or some people, then you need to think about the good of each other.

Freedom obviously exist. But it totally depends on your own wish. If you want to give freedom to yourself you have to stay out from any type of dominating relationship.

Freedom comes with a price to pay. People can't jusr do anything they want because they feel they're free. There are laws and rules to follow and following them means we're responsible for the freedom we currently have

Absolute freedom equal to absolute captivity I believe.

Freedom of will or freedom of choice. Every person has the freedom to choose and to do what they want. We are not born juat to obey and follow what ever our superior ask to do. We can choose what we want and what we feel. We have that freedom to become and to be what we want.

Word freedom is a meaningful word.
Each of us need freedom so tha we can enjoy our life and we can live to our fulliest each day
Freedom thats what we need now many people is not experiencing there freedom because of the law
and some are because of there parents. People without there freedom is nothing but a Fish in side a aquarium

Being free means that we can do what ever we want. Even if we want to hurt others physically. Even if we want to steal people's stuff we could do it. But that kind of freedom is anarchy hence we are tethered by rules to experience partial freedom. With rules there is authority and with that, many doesn't want the burden of leadership so they become sheep

freedom stand for something greater than just right to act however I choose it stand for securing to everyone an equal opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit happiness. To most reasonable people freedoms more than just free to do whatever I want.

There is no real freedom of will, there is an agreement between governments and individuals. The government takes care of its individuals and the individuals obey to the government.

We have free will, sure; the only problem is that we can choose only from the options you can see.
This is very limiting.

On the one hand, free will seems to be obvious if you look at it with simple actions: I want to raise my hand and raise it

I remember a fantastic quote by Janis Joplin:

"Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose "

Unfortunatelyy the existence of different rules and restrictions make all of us not free.

With freedom comes responsibility. This quote is one my favorites because I think personally think that it's true. With freedom you can do anything. Some of us may even take the freedom that we have for granted and do stupid things that may hurt us later on. But remember that we are all responsible for our actions.

Freedom of will means is good but it is imposible because there are good people and bad people so everyone thinks differently and they can do bad things or they can do good things if they will live without law so we cant control that without law so we have to use law for to live in peace.

I know the word freedom of will lethargic, to do what they want.Freedom of will are the things they want to do in their life, because nothing prevents anything they do in their lives.It's a way to make someone happy about what they want.

One's freedom is limited by his\hers economic capacity. Economic capacity being  limited by default, so is the freedom.
Freedom of will is another philosophical concept. Entropy being a fundamental concept in the laws of physics means everything is pretty much set in motion irrespective of our individual will, however on a microscopic level we might have ripples in timespace that allow us to make some minor choices but these are only minor exceptions that prove validity of a general deterministic Universe.

Still we should not get depressed because of this and we should seek always to enhance our Morals and make right choices.
Ultimately the most precious moral heritage to which our civilisation should always aspire to is Golden rule.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule

We can do what we want. The problem is that we don't know what we want

I think we have rules and regulations so that there is order and peace in our country. We are free to do our own will but we must also know that we have our own limitations. We must still know what is right and wrong. Because if everyone do want they want without having limits then there will be chaos in our country

Everyone is free to do what they want regarding about Freedom will, but if you have an understanding considering the thoughts of others would think of you, or if others will be affected then it's your choice and the choice of the people on how they will consider what you do or say. Freedom of will is giving your own opinion but better not to give opinions that will hurts others and must elaborate it clearly so that they can understand to what's you're pointing out.

really freedom of the will is very relative...freedom of will must be available until we limit or damage other people...so that the regulatory authorities in any case need...it turns out that we can't take responsibility for ourselves in this issue completely

it may be the freedom to seek a heart that can not be controlled.

freedom and rights are the things of the individual, we are free to do everything we think is good for us, and that is our right as human beings, but we also have obligations that we must obey, we live in a state and state must have clear rules , because the country without rules will be what the country is ?? So we can do whatever we want, but do not violate the obligations and regulations that have been applied, that is the devinition of freedom in my opinion

Freedom of will is very important for us.Every man should have that freedom.When we have the right to say our opinion, what we like, but what we don't like, we have to say that.We all have the right to love what we want.In every good society, every man is important.When we have the freedom of will, we choose the best for ourselves.Freedom of will is as important as freedom of speech.

Freedom is just a phrase that represents the wishes of human beings who want to be free from "limitations" to speak, act and argue. Evidence of the absence of freedom is the number of regulations that are made, whether in the form of legislation, religious teachings, social norms, ordinances of conduct, customs and other unwritten rules. Is not the existence of rules that restrict individuals or groups of individuals to submit and obey do or not to do an act. Then where is that freedom?

Every man is born free but for a fair and better society there are rules and regulations guiding our actions which restrict us from infringing on another person's right by the virtue of being free.  A society without rules and regulations breeds anarchy

Freedom of will refers to the individuals rights to do what he/she wanted to do. 

Generally,  we all know that we are bound to follow the rules because it is supported by law. Yes we have the freedom of will to follow it or not,  it's up to us,  but then we are responsible for all our actions.  So because of this,  we are still required to choose for those things aligned by the law wether we want it or not.

People do not have complete action's freedom in society. Rules are really necessary to control and restrict dangerous human's behavior for good of the majority. So that full freedom isn't available in modern society

Freedom is confined to the laws, rules and regulations of the country.
If we play within the tenets of the law, you can be tagged as having
freedom. For example some countries have freedom of speech, association, worship,
assemble, privacy and all.If your country bans any of the mentioned, then you are no longer
free to do such.Therefore, freedom is measure by the laws or constitution of the federation.

To me, freedom is a tricky concept, for, since you are born, society educated you on how you must live. I mean, if you have read "A Brave new world", by Aldous Huxley, you will see my point. We are all under a conditioned education since the very beginning of our lives. It means we are through what we should do with our own freedom, we have our society ideology tattooed on our minds, so, are we truly free? Can we just have our own ideas after years and years of influence??

I Think such a society is just an imagination for every students out there and even every people

There is only one form of freedom of will. That is how weak you can be in resisting the Holy Spirit Who is attempting to work faith in God in your heart. If you are weak enough, He can work faith in you. All the rest of the things that you might will, will flow out of that. God will determine, and even make, the results of your will.

I want such a society where if i dont wanna study then the will of mine will be welcomed

Freedom of will is tge ability to choose an action or what you want in your life but in our society the freedom of will didn't use or rather didn't do that freedom because we are responsible to follow the rules and regulation in our country that is why we didn't get the freedom that we need.

It is something that everyone wants but it will take time.

Maybe some people are right about everything being predestined but I believe that we all have free will to defy or to improve our predestined destinies.  ;D


Technically we do or at least we are privileged with freedom far beyond most of the rest of the world and you have the right to do whatever it is you want to do with your life.  I believe the only people who are really free are those who choose to be homeless.  ;D

 

Of course, we don't, and that's good
we delegate some of our rights to the government to live in structured and safe countries. That is what Jean-Jacques Rousseau talked about

Freedom is to do anything unless it harmed the others, if you want to live in society then you should adopt its rules and limit yourself

Freedome of means is you do what you want in life and no limitation of rules making you want nor a bad or good

The thing is that not all people are capable of being responsible once given complete control over what they can do. Freedom is often abused and i agree that to avoid anarchy, freedom needs to be regulated.

freedom is its rule .. if all human beings have full freedom over themselves, then ancurlah our world. because all humans feel free, no one works, no one farms, no one produces.

The prespective of the statement can be wrong too. means if a guy wants to rape a girl would that will be also free?

In my opinion, Free will  choice is the capacity to pick between various conceivable blueprints unobstructed. Through and through freedom is firmly connected to the ideas of obligation, adulate, blame, sin, and different judgements which apply just to activities that are uninhibitedly picked.ly chosen. thanks

As a human we have a lot with different kind of freedom as we live in the earth some freedom are not be liable to accomplished when it comes to be harmful from other person regards from their human rights protection,,so that the used of freedom are also limited resource because not all you liked has been freely to used your freedom...

what if freedom of will has no limits?

I think its good to have some wills because its human mind and in human mind can come wrong wills too

Yes, we are getting closer to that and we will achieve that.

The free will can simply be understood as the choice and the free act of consciousness, which originates from agents that are judged on reason to achieve a certain purpose, In this way the subject controls himself in his own actions and decisions.

Freedom to whatever you want is something that one can only dream of.

society always imposes its own rules of the game ... a consolidated, truly free person can only be on an uninhabited island, but even there his freedom will be limited by the ocean line))) freedom for me is to live in harmony with myself, to be honest with my choice and responsibility. although some consider freedom is a lot of money, I do not know ... for me money is just a means not to die

If everyone puts rules across then it gets difficult to survive.

Freedom is all about something good and not for ruining yourself or the life of others and any rules and law for it is also because everyone has a right to live with peace. If you are doing evil thing and it disturb the life of others just because you believe that what you are doing is the definition of freedom then you are wrong. Because freedom is something that makes everyone convenient and not for doing something that can destroy the others peace.

I've read a quote before that states "One man's freedom ends where another one begins" I consider it as a perfect explanation of exercising your "freedom of will - whatever". You are free to do anything that you want but it should not affect anyone around you or else you'll have a problem.

It's easy to say that you are just exercising your "will power" but if it's going to affect anyone (specially if it's not for good) then you should control or avoid doing it.

freedom of speech is a double right of every person.  free does not mean free in terms of wild, should have limits and follow the applicable norms.

Yes, in my country we are given the freedom of will and we can do everything,

Freedom is important and it is your life you should be given that freedom.

Freedom is enjoyable without risks or burning of fingers when practiced
within the ambit of the governing laws, edits, constitutions, rules and
regulations.Otherwise, you become an out-law.Freedom of worship does
not warrant you shed human blood for your worship  in the society.This
applies to other facets of human engagement.Hence, we must thread with
caution while practicing freedom of will in any society never to go against the
instituted laws.

Yes men are free to do what they want, every thing that pleasant to their eye and will gives good results. That is freedom but doing things that are harmful to others is destroying the freedom of others and if this is the kind of freedom you wish for, you are also destroying your own freedom. Destroying the freedom of the others are also yourself distraction because your conscience and the law will hunt you.

Yes we have the freedom to do things. but of course there is also a limit because we have rules and policies to guide us daily. of course you have the freedom to live life . But most of the people they dont know the meaning of freedm , so later on you can freely do things that are bad for you. For me, freedom is to live well and to work well with us

Our freedom ends where another person's freedom begins!

freedom is the unmerited gift to human kind to live free without any burden from others authority not unless if you go against the law which is purposely formulated to maintain peace.

You are as free as you allow yourself to be free. You choose, decide, there are no restrictions.

Freedom of will is entirely limited to the strength of a person to be in favor of, or against, the real God of the universe. The results of your free will are entirely directed by God.

You can have freedom but with limitation. For me you can't have Absolute freedom even if we go back to the manual of life the Bible.ever since Genesis the beggining instruction to adam he can eat all things exept tree of good and evil. Though he has all the authority over it all god still commanded a minimal forbiddens. Like in life maximize life but not unto the point of hurting other people.

Excercising once freedom in extent of harming other people or destroying others is beyond limit. Yes we have freedom but with out those limitations that are called laws there will be no order everywhere if everything we are going to excercise is freedom. The law is, do not do unto others what you dont want done unto you. If there is no such thing as this and everyone excercises their freedom over you just like you do to them then what do you think will be the world we live in?

True, freedom is a privilege. Not unless you want tolive in a lawles country where strength is law, then you canndo whatever you want there. But nowadays in a somewhat nation where powerful people have a somewhat check and balance or a regulation, to enjoy your freedom you will have to do your obligation to your country (ie, paying taxes, following the rules etc). Your freedom to do something has to respect the freedom of others to do something else, or even to contradict yours.

Perhaps you misunderstand. God's command about eating the fruit of that tree, was followed by, "The day that you eat of it, you shall surely die." Notice what God didn't say, "The day you eat of it I will surely kill you." So, what's the difference?

Let me use this example. You go to the car dealer and buy a brand new V8 car. Then you ask the mechanic at the dealer if you can switch two of the spark plug wires on the engine. He says, "No. You will destroy your engine if you do that." But it is your car. So, you have the freedom to do it. So you pull the plug wire off the plugs on cylinders 3 and 5, and you simply cross them over to the other plugs. And, you blow the engine.

The mechanic thinks to himself, "What an idiot," but the dealer is lenient, and replaces the whole car for you for free.

You were free to eat the fruit. You were free to do other wrong things. But it totally messed up the mechanics of the universe and your life regarding love and obedience. Then God came along and gave you the free gift of Jesus salvation. But if you trash Jesus salvation in your life, the dealer isn't going to give you a third new car. This is the last chance a person has.

Freedom to everything that you want is not absolute. This freedom is also bounded by limitations as set by our society. One of which is the law that was enacted in every society. These are rules and regulations set by the government for the society have its equilibrium and order. We do have acts that sets our freedom but it is ironic that laws also limit the freedom it sets. We couldn't blame our government for that. These regulations were set for the freedom that was given to everyone will be used for the common good and won't let anyone be harmed because of that. This makes freedom of will not absolute. For me, yes we are getting the freedom we need as all of those promotes the benefits for ourselves and the people around us.

Big correct! This would some up in respect others and respect yourself.
Disrespectful can contaminated the land of respectful habitats.
We have our own responsibility toward other people, society, animals, and self.
We aren't born without family, and environment. Wr have big role to maintain the balance life with others if possible.

Every person should have the freedom of will. But there are still many democratic countries in the world, women have no freedom of will. As a result, women are lagging behind many things.
