An excerpt from your article says: "...human life is not on autopilot, nor is there an instruction manual telling us how to make the right decisions."

The truth is, there is an instruction manual of life that tells us how to make the right decisions. That manual is called THE BIBLE.

I live in the present. This means I don’t have the time to philosophize about the provocations in the present. I simply must act as the moment presents itself. Am I free? Yes, to an extent allowed me by the time I have to act. All people are the same but some are more proficient than others.
