Human beings possess the capacity for exercising free will, which entails the ability to select what brings us the greatest satisfaction. The inclination towards sinful behavior arises from our inherent sinful nature. Our decisions bear moral repercussions, even extending to individuals who do not hold religious beliefs. In fact, they too possess the capacity for moral decision-making, exemplifying high moral standards. Nonetheless, since the fall of humanity, the absence of true goodness prevails, as no one actively seeks a relationship with the Divine. Instead, all have deviated from the righteous path, their words and actions reflecting the decay and malevolence within them. This moral decay manifests in the mistreatment and harm inflicted upon those who adhere to their faith.The concept of free will is limited in its understanding of our true selves and the extent of our abilities. When we consider our own choices, we tend to be more forgiving towards ourselves and less towards others, which is a biased perspective. The key is to seek truth from a source that goes beyond our personal assessment of our freedom, and that source is the word of God. By contemplating the teachings of God, we shift our focus away from our morality and instead acknowledge that we are far more flawed than we perceive ourselves to be and that our ability to choose is not as strong as we believe. It is through the guidance of the Spirit and the word that we gain a clearer understanding of our perceptions of free will.This distorted perception of our freedom is evident in how our memories function. Within us dwell countless thoughts that reside in our corrupted and concealed corners. We often find ourselves consumed by desires, animosity, and envy, neglecting to genuinely empathize with those who suffer or share in the joy of others. Our love for others falls short of their expectations, despite our belief that our actions of love are sufficient. Even when we express our pain, we rely on our personal experiences, driven by self-centered motives, rather than allowing scripture to guide and expose the profound hypocrisy within us. It is essential for us to learn to understand ourselves in the initial illumination of divine revelation rather than solely within the context of our community.Our constant inclination is to believe we are superior to others while they are inferior to us. This flawed mentality has become deeply ingrained in our society, making it difficult for us to truly achieve inner freedom. We often delude ourselves into thinking that by following a particular program, we can expedite our personal growth. As long as we can maintain a facade of self-improvement and convince others to do the same, we find solace in our shallow society. An important aspect of this is our tendency to deflect our own sins by focusing on the transgressions of others, thereby alleviating our feelings of guilt. This inclination is so deeply rooted in our sinful nature that we struggle to break free from our self-flattery, despite our belief that we have discovered the truth. Consequently, we will remain trapped in this finite realm of sin until we transition to the other side. Here, we are constantly engaged in battles with numerous sins, possess a limited self-awareness, lack empathy towards others, and perpetually compare ourselves to others in terms of guilt. This is the reality of our existence - one that is far worse than we perceive it to be.
