12. From a dualist point of view – evil is caused by Satan, good by God. We have the free will to choose which one. To a degree.[ is it a binary type of question?]. Pure freedom – before sanctions impinge on our lives- when language kicks in. Who provides freewill? God = all-loving? Is freewill for the better or for the worse? The only thing that confines our freewill is society. We are condemned to freedom – it is not a reward. It is not NICE! Eg jobs get you money –but at a price The opposite of being free is being bound. Teaching a child to lie example. You can what you want, but you can’t want what you want
