> You're definitely right about the dangers of believing in free will. I've always struggled with the notion that even if i didn't choose to be sick, I must not want to get better because if i did, I'd "choose" to get better. Sometimes i've felt as if i should be able to "will" my depression away.
Free will may be guilt inducing, but determinism is horrifying to anyone who likes to be in control.
