This ride may get a bit rough so, hold on.
One of the main reasons why we adopt external value systems is that if we do so, we stop being responsible for the things that happen to us. In other words: we can blame the system. It seems that blaming others leaves us impeccable and innocent. It is indeed a comfort zone we create in order to hide from reality. Clearly it’s the easier way, but certainly it isn’t a very rewarding one, if you take a closer look. Basically it’s a trap of eternal childhood in that we depend on others to tell us what’s right or wrong, what shall we do or not do, how we are supposed to feel or behave. It is a safe place, yes. But it is also slavery and dependency. It is also blindness to- and repression of- our real essence. We can say we are forced into this situation, and suffer. There are authentic contests on suffering out there… Who suffers more? Who suffers louder? And than there are other people, who pity. “Oh… poor thing… There is nothing to be done, how terrible!” I see pity as a tool of repression. It closes doors and keeps you under the water. It all has a very interesting self inducting dynamic:

First, because not only *I* have my free will but also You do. And I am to respect that. I shall not take it from You or influence it in order to get what I want. (Although many times it seems to be the case, but that doesn’t change the fact it shouldn’t be done – but this being a rather complex topic,
I prefer to talk about it later, separately.) So what
I want, is maybe not what
youwant, and our interests crash, so one has to give in- or up; or we both have to alter our plans, or one kills the other… Either way such a free will (if it existed) would be damaged.
