What's freewill if I can't choose what I feel?

Question

Our emotions don't affect our decisions?

Answer 1

Freewill doesn't mean "anything goes". Free will is the ability make decisions and choices. Sometimes those decisions are between right and wrong. Sometimes it's NOT a moral thing.

Answer 2

It's not called free feel, my dear; that would confuse rapists. Free WILL, as in you have the natural ability to CHOOSE what you want to DO, regardless of the consequences that executing those choices might entail. This doesn't mean you have superpowers and can do whatever the heck you feel like, nor does it mean you can control your emotions or reactions to the things around you - it just means you aren't a robot and nobody can MAKE you do something (whether they can pressure you to or force you to is an entirely different matter). I hope this helps, and if you don't like my advice, you have the FREE WILL to report me.

Answer 3

what is it that you want every action has a reaction we have freewill and we can make a choice the point here is control control of ones feelings and emotions we can only control ourselves we cannot control anyone else example i love chocolate ice cream but i know it is bad for me so i have to make myself not eat it or it will hurt me i cannot give in to this freewill of eating it the body is weak and each day we have to fight the temptation to give in to the easy way hope this helps pray for strength

Answer 4

freewill is in the form of being able to do any work, based on imagination. freewill is found in humans, and it is not there in animals. Animals are bound to do by their instinct, according to their race.

Animal races are many. Human race is one.

We can see a human can express/do in infinite dimensions. however, without understanding/experiencing the existence - man is not free to get the results of his choice.

so you can't choose your feelings without understanding the existence as it is.

Answer 5

human emotion has nothing to do with free will

Edit::::have you ever heard the saying 'do you make decisions based on emotions (heart) or with your head?' something like that, i guess if you let emotions get in the way then yes...i can usually make an educated decision based on what is before me, whats better to do :o}

Answer 6

Actually freewill is making your own choices... It's your choice not to choose what you feel.. You must rather ask yourself this question

c",)

Answer 7

You can choose what you feel, that you have the freedom to do, but you have to understand there are consequences to some of those choices. God does that for us, as we do it for other humans, otherwise we would have anarchy.

Answer 8

There are ways to master your own emotions. With certain meditative states you can even raise/lower your body temperature.
