What separates us from animals
Some say it is our ability to love
Others say we have compassion
And others say it is only intelligence
But what truly makes us different
Is our possession of free will
Not the free will to pursue pleasure
Not the free will to attain power
Or the free will to amass wealth
But the free will to choose
A path that is self sacrificing
To choose others over oneself
Good over evil
The true power of free will
Lies not in doing what you want
But in not doing what you want
Unless what you want is good
Doing whatever you want
Makes us no different
From animals
