[QUOTE="durangodawood, post: 77657287, member: 200668"] I find the older I get the more I appreciate the effects of circumstances and conditioning on a persons choices. I dont have to go full determinism to arrive at a sort of compassion pretty close to what you describe. Problem is, full determinism leave zero room to attribute [I]any[/I] portion of a persons choices to their self - as there was no real opportunity to make a choice. Yeah, even if we all have some kernel of free will operating, it can be easily overwhelmed by involuntary circumstances as strong as mental illness. Free will fans should recognize this. [/QUOTE]
