free the will , it's a simple action not a special god-gift . even i can give you free will . i cannot , tho , give you darkness or unknowing . that would be your personal indulgence . to demand conformity is also selfish , indulgent , manipulative , and of fear . to fear not is also an act of will . please be free .
