The path we choose is the destination we seek.

As individuals our preferences influence the choices we make. No two paths are the same nor is the destination because no 2 people are identical.

Assuming life is life, everyone is different and everyone is the same. Do not judge me for my choices and I’ll not judge you for yours.
 

The Road Not Taken​


By Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

yeah about free will, situations and circumstances narrows down our choices considerably. Is it free will when we are influenced by religion, parents, people and the media? Free will would have access to an endless of choices without regard to circumstance money or hardships
 
Free will would have access to an endless of choices without regard to circumstance money or hardships

It does some not immediately obtainable but possible all in time? - free will unfortunately does not always include the caveat " and above average intelligence and a sound social conscience" - we all have free will it's just that some of us feck it up very frequently
 
Every choice has consequences so is it really free will if have to live with the cost of the consequences?

The choice is free but payback is a bitch
 
Yeah, we have free will and all that stuff, but I didn't "will" the Vietnam War, nor "will" the need to join the armed forces. I didn't "will" getting old. Stuff happens. There are parts of life you have to accept, like accepted social behaviors. We operate our lives within those restrictions. "Free will" is coping with the opportunities and losses in life.
