Free Will

Seems to me that every way I go about it, free will boils down to nothing more than ignorance. The more ignorant you are, the more free you are. With science, we don't know exactly why everything happens. Such as radioactive decay. There is an infinitely large amount of data that would need to be processed in order to know exactly how a uranium atom would decay. But it is impossible to figure out so it is said to be probabilistic and random. It really isn't, we just have no way of knowing. With God, our free will lies with the fact that we don't know what we will do next. But He does. How is that truly free? Again, just ignorance. So we can go along in life and do whatever we like, but there will always be a cause. It is never truly random. Never truly free. Just ignorant. Not by our own choice. We just don't have the power.
Change-up
This all seems to go against everything I believe in. But it doesn't. He only knows because we do it. That may seem like a hard concept, but it's true. Time is another dimension. And it is just the flow of events. If we do something, then that is one point in time. That point can be observed from anywhere in the fourth dimension because you are not bound to a set flow like you are in the lesser dimensions. It is still our choice because this free will comes from another dimension. Truly random chaos is the result of vibrations from extra dimensions coming on down to us. Like gravity. It makes its way through the dimensions as well, which is why it is so weak. This free will comes from God. He is in all of us. It allows us to escape the general rules of the universe and have a soul that transcends what we experience in what we see, hear, feel, etc. We go to other dimensions so that we may be free of causality.

The epitome of unfairness

Sex, 9 months of multiplying cells and a mother carrying a precious child, the birth, the growing and developing and maturing, and then he gets hit by a car in his early twenties. How is that fair? Something that took so long to create and shape and everything, and he dies in an instant. This principle can go for anything in life. It is always many more times difficult to create something than it is to destroy it. Something to beautiful can be taken down faster than the blink of an eye. It's just wrong. It's like things are meant to be chaotic. Creation is going against the universe. It takes work to build. And when it is, you are happy. Content. When it is destroyed, you are sad. It just seems like people are meant to be sad. It happens so easily and so often. And yet happiness is the thing that takes work. The thing that is harder to find. Maybe it's the work that you put into it that creates the happiness. Everything that comes out of it is just details. Or is it? Maybe happiness is a detail. Mere motivation to accomplish something greater. Is it your happiness or the product of the achievement of your happiness that matters more? During your process of doing something that you love, say, being a doctor and helping people, you do great things for the world. But the whole purpose you did it was because it made you happy. An example could be found in all walks of life. The motivation to be happy and not sad is what makes us build and cause great things to happen. The ease of destruction is just more motivation to keep it up because while doing that, you make more great things happen. Seems like we're on a cliff and we have to hold on for dear life or we'll fall. We want so bad not to fall that we dig footholds into the cliff. In doing so, we not only save ourselves from falling but we also make little spots for plants to grow that could cure cancer or something! Just trying to think of a good example everyone can relate to. In the end, maybe it's supposed to be unfair so we have more motivation to work toward the master plan.
