Free Will vs Determinism

“Suicide is the only thing you have control of in life and that's why it's a sin; you're beating 'God' at his own game.”( S.H.) This is what some people who believe in free will think. However, there is also some determinism in that quote because it talks about how they don’t have control over anything and the only thing they do control is whether they live or die. It is a bit ironic because yes they take their own life but after who will they meet, God, and who will still be in charge, God, not them. Determinism creates a reason for people to blame their actions on someone else. People who believe in free will take full responsibility of their actions because they choose to do it. In this life, our decisions and actions are half determined and half chosen by the people. Some people do not have a choice in life like mental illness. People do not choose to have depression, they do not want to be this way. Other people think that you can just snap out of it , but you can’t. I claim that people should think about their decisions in a half free will and half determinism way because it will help give people justice. It will blame those that need to be blamed and it will show innocence for those who had no fault. Determinism is like saying that a person did not do the actions that they committed. It is like blaming someone else for what they did and not taking responsibility for their actions. On the other hand, it also has some truth to it. For example people with mental health issues, depression, to be specific, did not choose this for themselves. They did not want it nor can they get rid of it. They can take medication but it is never really gone. It is in their genes , or something caused them to be this way. People cannot control it.This is due to the chemicals in our brain change and they do not have the same brain activity. The brain is an interesting thing, it can be controlled by outside forces.
