Interesting topic, because the persons have really to understand what free will means. For me this was a gift of love from God Luz, for the inhabitants of planet earth, this means something like, "choose the path you want, learn from your mistakes and in each learning you will advance one step towards me". only that many times we don't look at the learnings and we have to repeat the lessons, because we are so stubborn ...! because they even give us clues to guide us along the way and many times we do not want to see or hear then sometimes, if we are awake, we move forward, see, and listen. But sometimes we just don't move forward. And as you say, our decisions will always positively or negatively affect ourselves and others. It all depends on the choices we make. And that is what the Universal Law of "Cause and Effect" is about
