At the mercy

Several scientists claim that there is no free will. Human beings behavior would be determined by binding circumstances and chance.

I don’t think I can afford a conviction about free will, I certainly have the feeling of taking decisions, but I could easily mistaken. It would certainly be disappointing if the belief that we made a choice was actually an illusion: a mental mechanism that prevents us from being aware of our irrelevance.

However, I suspect that if I was in the hands of an executioner, I would hate him, even if I was sure that the fate rules the Universe; perhaps the ability to find, under any circumstances, someone to hate is what define humans.
