Oh if only humanity did have an universally agreed upon meaning and point, so much strife could be avoided. Alas, such a thing does not exist in reality, but only in the minds of people. Those ever malleable and shifting minds.
I do as I do because because I am compelled, indeed! Because I wish to see less cruelty in the world. It is simplicity itself.

Cruelty implies a choice. It doesn’t exist in a world without free will.

Cruelty is merely a label we put upon an action we find harmful. Like every word, it is made up.
No word is the thing it points to. Except perhaps the word, “word” itself. Every word I have written is a small lie.
One does not go around licking recipes in order to taste the dish.

Well, then use the words you mean. Cruelty was clearly an incorrect one. We can’t exchange ideas effectively of you refuse to use words with their assigned meaning.

Please feel free to get familiar with semantics.

Now if you have an actual argument for why free will exists, please do argue that. Else, I have said as much as needed.
