To my friends

Many people say, that in bad times it proves who is a friend and who is not.
For that I want to say "thank you" to all my true friends. You all seem to care so much about me!
As I really do about you. True friendship means willingness to give everything and never ask what you get out of it. Being there when you are needed, but not expecting anything. I enjoy just helping my friends and spending time, but I also accept when there is no time, even though that is a little sad. I always hope the best. Sometimes I might be jealous, but there is never greed, cause I wish the best for you...always and forever... as you being happy makes me happy to. Friendship means sharing, its joy together and grief together. But after all its knowing that you are not alone.
Sometimes I really feel weird and proud, how do I get so many good friend? So many of you...everyone of you being special for me and a part of my life. Knowing that you are there makes me feel confident and optimistic about life, even though I am not an optimist...
I would do everything I can for you, since you are my life...
For all that I want to say "thank you" as I love you.
"Thank you" for exsisting and thank you for being my friend(s)!

Freedom of Will (Willensfreiheit)

As Schopenhauer says "Humans can do what they want, but never want what they want". I don't believe in Willensfreiheit as there is never such a thing as an independent decision. A simple example: a (I want to go and play soccer now.) depends on A (I like soccer.), which depends on several things as I have played the game before and as I experienced it as something nice. Which means there are conditions making me want this. This is a simple example but it clearly shows that my "will" depends on things. I need to know to decide. What I know depends on my previous life, my desires depend on what my context is. You are the product of everything what happens in life and for that you really don't have a lot of choice about anything. Your agency is deeply connected with the structure you are born in, even though the structure is dynamic and changes, you are always a part of it. Christian belief of god giving "the free will" to humankind is totally going wrong. As first to have this free will, you would need to be free of all moral judgments, to no condition prefer anything while making a decision. You would have to know about all possible actions and also know about all consequences. Otherwise the direction of your will would depend on knowledge and experience. To be able to know everything, you would have to be??? God itself. Do I think everything is determined? Yes and No. More Yes then No as everything is connected to some point, humans can decide, but every decision depends on context. Going back to my example, if I was asked if I want to play soccer or go to lecture, I would want to play soccer, even though maybe thinking that going to a lecture might be good for me and partly thinking I should want to go to the lecture...but I couldn't do anything about my "want". If I had a free will I should be able to create my desire, "want what I want" (inspired by Hume, Fay, Hobbes and Schopenhauer)
