Yourself?

Making no Choice and free will

Research on identical twins who were separated at birth and brought up in different environments, seems to indicate that our genes have a greater impact on the way we live our lives than any other factor. Not only do the majority of these twins share the same taste in a wide variety of things, they tend to hold similar jobs, marry similar spouses, and hold similar views and opinions. What happened to free will? Is it possible that the choices we believe we make out of our own free will, are preprogrammed by our genes?

The knowledge that we are preprogrammed may not help us in our actual lives, but at least on the go board we can still foster this illusion of choice. As we can usually attack stones from a number of directions, it is often a mistake to decide too early and limit our possibilities. In other words, sometimes making no choice is the better choice.

Maybe in love too, we should never decide too early.
