Free Will

Everyone's favorite topic, I'm sure. Recent events have caused me to think deeper into what free will is.

Freedom has no boundaries. Does free will have boundaries? The physical world is either binding or unbinding, not both. Does free will limit us to the boundaries of the physical world, or is it boundless? I may think in my mind the physical world has boundaries, but by thinking that, am I being bound by my mind? My mind is just as much a part of the physical world as everything else is.

So that brings me back to the question: Is free will free, or are we bound to some extent?

I've also always wondered whether it is free will that motivates people or whether their original motivation is what wills them to act. Every action we make reinforces the original motivating idea, but where does will come in?

Friend: Well like, Anthony Kiedis and John Frusciante both have lisps, and they were pretty big junkies.
Me: No, I think it's just the funk.
