[MD] Freewill

[Jan-Anders Andersson]

Hi all.

There are things we ought to see as humans. I'd put it this way:

--- To some extent we are free to choose to use our free will or follow static patterns.

A hole in the wall, a break in the fence, is all we need to know that there is a way out and thus we know that we are free to stay inside or not. 

The prisoner can then be held responsible for not escaping and using his freedom. ---

Watch in!
