I apologize I was not clear about the limited free will and blinded by eyes. Please allow me to clarify.

We all have life lessons, life paths and a destiny. Think about this for a second. If we did what we wanted to do each life time, how do we go down the path? learn life lessons? or go towards our destiny? True free will can not co-exist with the aforementioned.

When I was in NYC last week, I stopped at a restaurant. A homeless man asked for a little food that the rabbi promised to him. The owner commanded the man stand outside in 103 degree weather, threw rice in a bag and told him to go. The man looked in this bag and asked for a fork. When the owner refused to give him one, the guy took off. I took one from my tray, ran after the guy and gave it to him. He was seen as a nuinance because he was homeless and hungry and not given the human dignity of a simple plastic fork. It turns out the guy was homeless due to medical bills from cancer. Had I used my eyes like the owner, I would have only seen a homeless person. I looked beyond my eyes to see a person who had a hard life, deserving dignity and respect. This is how we blind ourselves with our eyes. What we see is usually not the truth.
