A word came out in my head when I was about to write this post. In my mission of #30harimenulis, I am free to write anything, right? What is free anyway?
In my opinion, those words refer to a state where a human being is able to make choices, honest choices, without other's influence or certain constraints.
It was the ideal meaning, I guess. But it is impossible to be applied in our world. Because since we were born to this world, certain values has been injected through our own brain. Those values was given to us before we can clearly distinguish what is good for us. Religious, ethical and scientific values already ruled this world since the first human on earth, I guess.
Our environment and society, also written constitutions, that we've been dwell-in shaped us into what we are today. Those influences, those values are the ones that determine all of our own actions. And based what majority called "goodness", the seven basic acts of true human's nature: Pride, Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Envy, Gluttony and Lust, are now called seven deadly sins.
If we apply our honesty, we'll be called as sinners. If we suppressed those feelings, we will known as saints. We are free to decide, which one will we be? Sinner or Saint?
Oh, well. "Free will" is just another word for "fallacy", isn't it?
