J.D. StroubeNo one has free will until they are an adult, and by then the choices that were made for them, have already set them on a course that gives limited freedom in the choices to be made.
About This Quote
The choices that we make in our lives are often set for us, especially by family members. This can be very frustrating because it is easy to believe that you have free will, but the truth is that your fate was already determined when you were born. This can be very confusing because it is what drives people to take charge of their own lives. They want to decide their own destiny and plan for the future, but they are often met with resistance from others who are convinced that they know what’s best. They think that they know what will make them happy, safe and secure.
