We are free, indeed.  Nonetheless, with that freedom we often choose badly - and soon enough the harvest of the choice visits the sower.  What is worse is that sometimes the harvest itself appears (at first glance) good, carefree, and plenteous.  But to the experienced eye, what seems like plenteous wheat from afar are really (upon more detailed inspection) bundled up weeds when near.

Likewise, in life we often make decisions based merely on the immediate results they reap - not thinking nearly as clearly about how the decision will affect us in say, a few weeks, a few months, or a few years.  Worse still, we often get stuck in these patterns such that eventually the behavior isn’t elected…it’s automatic.  And that’s really scary - to think that one could reach a point where, on subconscious impulse - you live against God.
