Free will

Do we have a free will?

A question that baffled many...

Do we truly have the power to choose,

or an invisible force pulling the string ? 

Some say, it's all an illusion, 

a myth we believe, to ease our confusion, 

that, every decision were predetermined, 

by a force beyond our comprehension. 

Then again, others argue, it being real,

the feels and emotions, are ours alone,

only we, have the true power...

To create our reality, shaping own destiny.

There were also times, it was chained,

others had decided, how we behaved,

then came revolutions, breaking those shackles,

finally roam under the sky, imbibing the freedom. 

With individual rights, as an ammunition, 

free will was promoted, had the acceptance, 

societies flourished, under liberal institutions,

celebrating diversities, among the creations. 

But, how much of it, is accountable?

For, excess would be bad, even unstable,

as everyone start acting on their impulses,

bringing chaos, without any supervision. 

For free will, there were no right answers,

perhaps the solution, lies in having balance,

having the power to follow our heart,

while respecting boundaries of others. 

So, cherish your gift of free will,

don't take it for granted, as per your wish,

become wiser and take care, not to breach,

for, your actions does affects, your surrounding.
