When I made this thread I was mostly referring to how our society treats people,like freaking machines and such.What are you guys' thoughts on this one?

I love happy people like you jojo.And yes,I only had my whole leg fractured and nearly amputated,but on the bright side:I spent 3 weeks in a shitty hospital!

Got hit by a car,nobody lifted a finger to call the ambulance.I had to f*cking crawl to my phone to call for an ambulance that arrived after half an hour. And many others....

So to start things of on a happy tone,I'm gonna pose this question:Has society ever let you down?I know I was let down a heck.What is your take in this?(I'm talking to you.Yes,YOU!)

But let's think this out a bit:do we do anything out of free will?Take for example all the little things you do in your daily life like eating and sleeping and...going to the bathroom.Do we consider those to be out of free will?If free will does exist,then we should be able to have it in every...
