Replying to LO4336 --

In regard to freedom to choose

One thing about thinking is that it can be greatly influenced by
knowledge that we either can or may not receive. That is, someone may
come to my prison cell and say

John Paul, John Paul, do you remember the red convertible with the
white top? Do you remember when I said to you that no matter how
thick the chain that either one day it would rust and fall off or you
would die; either way, things won't always be this way?

And I would remember - that someone once desired a red convertible
with a white top so much so that they would be willing to push it
home. Later, it wouldn't mean so much to them. I would see that he
had found me and still knew how to communicate to my soul without
being sentimental. I might still be in prison, but my mind wouldn't
be. Because of words that someone could or couldn't say my vantage
point toward destiny would be changed.

Now, that's sentimental :)
