There’s no freedom in having to do something but you’re also not free to choose your wants.

Maybe it’s better to just live and let life happen instead of thinking about what could’ve been. What ever happened is the only thing that could’ve happened.

    To have a strong feeling to have (something); wish (to possess or do something); desire greatly: synonym: desire.

    Pick any dictionary definition for it.

      Well, I neither have to nor have any strong desire to wake up early on a Saturday, but I still do because of a force of habit, how does that fit into your definition?

        It’s involuntary action. Not something you choose to do.

        The title is essentially an argument against free will. The illusion that you could have done otherwise. Waking up early out of habit is no indication of free will to me.
