One important point that we must mention is that a person is not free to act if he is without an opportunity to do so. This might make us ask how does one truly know if t!
here is an opportunity awaiting? First off, it would soon become apparent in any situation if there was one that did or did not exist. Second, if there was not one, or if we needed another solution, then we must decide whether to seek out another one. I

Let me reiterate that the main point of my views and explanations explain that human endeavor operates on a compatabilist frame of thought. Why also that rock will fall off a cliff because of gravity. !
It is why water will always flows downhill and settles at its lowest point. I ultimately feel that being limited to a hard deterministic mind frame causes us to underestimate the power of the mind and its abilities, thus, we are then naturally and unconsciously limiting ourselves without freedom of will to something less with whatever it is that we are accepting as our fate. The more we consciously, meaningfully, and intellectually choose amongst any of the options that we - ourselves – have created (or at least something or someone else has presented to us), the greater the degree of it being the choice of free will that will allow us to succeed in acquiring our desires. Thus, I will leave free will exclusive to the mental states involved in our human endeavors. This is why a rock will stay in one place at rest and will only move if another force has been applied to it. I also think why free will is pract!
ically exclusive to man is because of our intellectual and conscious advantages in the freedoms of choice that we possess over any other animal. So, somewhere between the libertarianism and determinism spectrum rests a balanced state of compatabilism – where both theories can exist (as what I have eluded to address as what has occurred in our example). It was why we have magnetic attractions, physical forces, the elements, galaxies, stars, solar systems, planets, and of all, life! All of them (cautiously excluding human life) have been pre-determined to act, behave, or just exist in some manner because it was how the way the universe came to settle after the big bang. Already, from the moment I was presented with the situation, I with a libertarian mind frame, knew that I could choose a fate by just sitting down and accepting that I’m not going to play a piano because there is not one in front of me. Just as these two views are intended as the antithesis between each other, at times, they are more interrelated than we give them credit. And ultimately, !
it is free will that will stand no choice to a pre-determined, universal event such as dying or having a moon-sized asteroid about to collide with earth, but we won’t go without saying that at least mankind was capable of desiring to live and could brainstorm for opportunities how to live longer – but the event itself will still happen.
