Free Will

“Everywhere the human soul stands between
a hemisphere of light and another of darkness;
on the confines of the two everlasting empires:
necessity and free will.”
- Thomas Carlyle

Free will is an illusion.
People always choose the percieved path of greatest pleasure.
-Scott Adams

This free will business is a bit terrifying anyway
It's almost pleasanter to obey and make the most of it.
Ugo Betti

my personal free will theme song......

i do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
and i do it just because i want to
because i want to

everything i do is judged
and they mostly get it wrong
but oh well
'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
and the woman who lives there can tell
the truth from the stuff that they say
and she looks me in the eye
and says would you prefer the easy way
no, well o.k. then
don't cry

i wonder if everything i do
i do instead
of something i want to do more
the question fills my head
i know there's no grand plan here
this is just the way it goes
when everything else seems unclear
i guess at least i know

i do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
and i do it just because i want to

because i want to

joyful girl
