Our life’s on a canvas,
So crisp and so white,
Endless possibilities,
To bring it to light.
We sit as painters,
Acrylics in hand,
Adding colours to the canvas,
With the passing of sand.
And we look at the colours,
The soft hues of pain,
All of the colors,
That cling to our veins.
And we’re bound to fill colors,
Put no boundaries at all,
But if we’re bound to be boundless,
Are we boundless at all?
Sui Generis 
Exceptional!!

Insightful and philosophical this piece, Shanyu. Nice deterministic debate you initiate here to kickstart the weekend. Boundlessly lyrical too.

I don’t think I can say if free will exists. Maybe me writing this was predetermined, or I actually am writing to you, but in a nutshell, what is more important is how we react to it. So while free will might be an illusion, believing in it just gives us more control over our actions, meaning we would be more cautious with our actions. Much like many such existential imponderables, it is just the right balance of faith and logic.
