      I used to think and was proud that I may my own decisions.  Now, I know better. There is not a free choice, so I am learning in Kabbalah.

      We have free will to embrace more altruistic values through our choice of environment, through like-minded friends, books , and teachers to guide us to adopt the principle of faith above reason towards spiritual enlightenment.

      I think that the last decision belongs to us. What I do with it. Is it good only for me or for collective as well. Always choose the bigger picture view above instant satisfaction for yourself.

      We don’t have free choice, except by choosing the right environment.
