Against our will

Against our will

We can’t be forced to do anything. Coerced blackmailed and cajoled maybe, but never really forced. Even with a gun to your head you can opt to die, call their bluff, or obfuscate the situation. Cooperation is promoted with narcotics but that merely reduces your ability to show your objection rather than get you onside. Soldiers will be given training to be non-complicit. If an interrogator asks them to hand them something, they will toss the item on the floor instead. Having the belief that we choose our own destiny is meaningful. What we can and cannot do depends strictly on what possibilities are available. Firstly, you need to be aware of the options that exist. Hence why so much effort is made regarding the provision of education to expand people’s outlook.
