I thought it would be nice to write & share how I think about the subject in the title. I think the subject of free will being an illusion, helps the psycholgoical aspect of performing the act of suicide. So I think the proceeding should be classified as a psychological resource.
The majority of civilization has been socially conditioned from birth and throughout life. The result: Majority of humans believe "one has choice or the ability to make a decision" and where one should think of one's will as truly their own.
Unfortunately for the ones who deeply care about the quoted above to be true and hate being deceived in such a way.. It's unrealistic in our reality for us to have what is typically referred to as free will. You cannot make your own choice without in some way being effected/altered by external forces and typically referenced as genetics & environmental factors. Basically, all the "linear ordered" events that occur from your birth (one by one) until you die.
Your birth is the sacred starting point and which is all that truly matters in deciding if you will have a favourable or unpleasant life. You don't have any control how your view will be in the end, how your appearance will be, how your intellect will be, how your financial status will be, or how you will think about this post and that's just how we're currently living right now. Nothing anyone can do about it, but in my opinion there is great value of awareness and in how reality functions.
This all becomes more understandable once fundamentally realizing how the "past events" are building your life story and similar to turning pages in a children's book. Each page being nothing more than external forces outside of our control. These forces are all factored from what occurred in the past and these forces exert upon objects in what we express as the current moment of our environment. The objects being what we consider humans, what we reference as life and even objects we don't classify as living. Everything is controlled by these external forces in what scientifically is expressed as an ever expanding system "our universe" and encompassing infinite subsystems.
An important question to consider is why has society been structured to believe in free will?
The free will belief, historically was built by the foundation of believing in what one names God. How a higher being entity has given humans the ability to make their own choices and why would humans desire to be otherwise. Why indeed, would societies desire human awareness in how one's own life compared to another is the outcome of fate and nothing else. Specifically how the structure of society is the result of inequality from being born into a family of privilege or disadvantage. How the privileged are more aware from superior education, better nutrition, higher quality living standards and thus less error occurs in development stages from childhood to adulthood. Throughout university one will learn the highest advantage is social connection that's in correlation with financial status.
The rare anomalies of a person born into less privilege making fortunes or great accomplishments is grossly praised in the press and used to further condition the less privileged to believe in free will. The essences of unawareness is built upon the practices of praise & rewards for assuming self-ego is justified for the outcome of events society desires.
I'm going to end writing about this for now but I'll probably add more later.
