If you think 'free-will' is real, you are the problem.
truth inspires

I would suggest trying to make a 'choice' that isn't the result of your experience.
I understand the consideration presented is monumental, so I empathize with your lack of it in this matter. Truth is truth- pride ignores the fact that you are your experience (A.K.A. your first name is 'all motion' and you are the only thing; making pride redundant).
The truth is simple- 'is' is. It is the lies built on top of it that make it seem daunting.
in fearlessness,

I get it except for the 'A.K.A. your first name is 'all motion' and you are the only thing; making pride redundant).' bit. Help me out here.
Okay, are there any posters here NOT from Kromulon Five in the Spartacus Galaxy?
pride is redundant because there is only one thing- the everything.... That is why it is a 'sin' (an action that ignores truth), because it ignores the fact that anything that comes from anything comes from the infinite experience behind that thing--- meaning that you are not you, that you are only a conduit of the 'now', with as much control as anything (which is none) because, being our experience, we can only respond to the 'now' knowing what we know--- every 'choice' is an inevitable outcome- we can only choose what our experience dictates, hence there is no choice (and knowing that whatever will be WILL be, there is no reason to fear- when we are not afraid we most efficiently move towards our happiness--- AKA we move towards the reality of freedom- free from worry and fear- the reality of 'Heaven-on-Earth... food growing everywhere and everyone helping and sharing because they know that their happiness is determined by the happiness of their environment).

My belief is that while moving your existence through this reality your choices are fractile with each instant forking like a dandelion seed head into the direction we are at that time choosing. Each instant is there fore a choice. My belief is the method of free will is the ability to form harmony with ones true nature which allows one to avoid the buffeting effects of chaos and flow through the infinite vectors towards peace.

---Hell, this could be invented within an hour. Just place two identical buttons on the side of a faceless building with no obvious purpose.
---You won't know what the buttons do or even if they're hooked up. But you'll be "forced" to choose, even if you ignore them.
You are God, being what you are... it's almost like sentience is an illusion... we appreciate without control.
