The trap of cause and effect.
The trap of cause and effect.
We are affected by cause and effect and we effect cause and effect on others.
In short, even if we think we have chosen to do something, we have chosen to do it for a reason. Something has influenced us to do choose it.
You could even say, "I can roll a die and then decide."
But, still, you are influenced by an outside force, the die.

Or it is an illusion?
Or is it something entirely different than we believe it to be?
Is it just something we want to believe because we want to maintain some illusion of control?
What do you think?
Do you think we have free-will?
Or do we just think we have free-will?
We simply cannot exist without impacting or influencing that which we come into contact with.
The same for everything and everyone else.
Throw quantum physics in the mix (entanglement), and it becomes more complex.
Begin asking who and what we are, and it goes even further.
What are your thoughts on free-will?

Interesting topic, because the persons have really to understand what free will means. For me this was a gift of love from God Luz, for the inhabitants of planet earth, this means something like, "choose the path you want, learn from your mistakes and in each learning you will advance one step towards me". only that many times we don't look at the learnings and we have to repeat the lessons, because we are so stubborn ...! because they even give us clues to guide us along the way and many times we do not want to see or hear then sometimes, if we are awake, we move forward, see, and listen. But sometimes we just don't move forward. And as you say, our decisions will always positively or negatively affect ourselves and others. It all depends on the choices we make. And that is what the Universal Law of "Cause and Effect" is about
