"Our free will gives us the ability to say no to the suffering that comes from following our reflexes. You see how animals suffer from being slaves to their instincts. A happy dog or a cat in heat will injure themselves in pursuit of an unmet urge. So we can stop the reflex before it consumes us. And we can say yes to love. It is our great pleasure and privilege as human beings to understand, through the experience of love, the reality that we all come from and go to the same source, Our free will gives us the freedom to stop suffering and choose love, every time."
