Man endowed with freewill

If man is not free, he cannot be expected to keep laws, and should not be punished for breaking laws. There is no obligation to observe a law when it is not possible to keep it. Consciousness is another proof for freewill. We are not only conscious before acting that there are various ways open to us, but we are conscious that we may stop or hesitate acting, and after acting, are conscious of self reproach, realising that we should not have acted in a certain way. The possession of reason has to come with freewill. For example, taking another man's money may be considered as involving the moral evil of obtaining it by theft, or as exchanging your goods with him. The action of taking money itself allows a man to concentrate upon one aspect or another, proposing to himself the good or evil choice.
