Free Will

it's what separates us from animals
its what separates us from angels (don't know whether that is a good thing)
it's what makes us who we are
but today free will is not as free as it seems
our wills are governed, choices are made finite by rules and regulations, also by etiquette

did we choose to limit our choices?
No we did not...
merely we inherited these limiters from our genius ancestors
who thought with too much free will we'd create chaos amongst ourselves
who also thought individuality is dangerous
and right they were to some extent
yet we are now observing some animals whom without free will show social behaviour and live harmoniously among themselves.

so the question is, was these animals the inspiration to limit free will in hope of achieving harmony?
or did they just invent limiters to drive slaves?

isn't it blasphemous to repress a god given gift?
or is free will becoming obsolete?

    Free will may not have been there in the first place.
