Could it be that our lives occur according to a process which we actually have no control over?

FIRST: Read this arguement before you answer:





IF: The exact present moment is an infinitley small time frame, which approaches zero.





SO: One cannot change the future moment, every action they take only is in the present moment.





THUS: As soon as an action is taken, it instantaneously becomes the past.





SO: Since we cannot change the future (only the present) and we cannot change the past moment either, then we have no control over what has or what will occur in our life.





This is to say that all our actions are pre-programmed in the first place. It is only an illusion that our bodies and our minds truly act autonomously and independently from the rest of the universe.Could it be that our lives occur according to a process which we actually have no control over?
ok, here's the skinny...we have a choice as to how we see ourself in all this..thats about itCould it be that our lives occur according to a process which we actually have no control over?
Yeah, it could be. Try to write down all the things that are going to happen to you in the next 24 hrs, every little detail. let me know how accurate you were. How much control did you have predicting all those things exactly?
My head hurts, Mommy.....
Yes, you are correct.


Free will is actually an illusion.


Because circumstances can and do just happen and because of your individual CNS including your brain, you have absolutely no choices to make in your present life.


You are compelled to live, think, act and behave in accordance with your surroundings and the way you are put together as a human being.





Cool question that was framed in a very significant way!
What we are this moment is a result of what we thought and did in the past. What we will be is the result of what we think and do now. Thoughts are things and we have control over the way we think and act so therefore we have control of our lives.
It could very well be!0!
