Future not determined

Post by RWStanding »

Future not determined
If the moral and amoral forces acting on a person are equally towards two unavoidable directions then a necessary decision will have two sets of consequences that will take the future in different directions.
If there is no evident significant advantage in one direction to another then the choice that must be made will bring disaster or profit, or the normal tedium. All that is required is that a person be responsive to forces in his mind, as opposed to or above any lesser exterior mechanical forces. All choice is a moral choice at some great or trivial level

There's no such thing as "moral and amoral forces" that act upon people.

of course, that statement is determined by your belief in freewill
