Is God's Will Free?


God. The Creator. The All-knowing.
Allower of light, decider of darkness.
Speaker to Prophets, listener to sinners.
Omnipotent and Omnipresent, incorporeal and incorruptable.

With all this power, knowledge, and being is there something that it lacks?
If God made Angels and the Devil was the first to fall, what is it he saw in the divine that made him decide to take the plunge? Did he decide? Would all be forgiven if he simply asked?
Is it possible, that love can only be freely given? Only when it is earned, and taken care of and reciprocated can it reach its full potential.
It is strange, this time in history. I am disgusted by the news, it leads me to believe that there is no decency left in people. However that news is filtered. Through a screen over wires, from some network to my home or laptop the new home.
Where ever I go I hear people complain about how it should be better. Well, How? What would make it better? Why isn't it that way? Why aren't you doing it that way already? I don’t know seems a satisfactory answer to them. Content to complain then not do anything to change their stars.

There is a slight false helplessness to the human condition. We put our faith in others to do right and are disappointed when they don't meet our expectations. Faith in ones self to do good in the world is something I hope to one day have. Albeit showing a stranger kindness without expectation is like giving them a piece of you.
