I just dont understand this admittantly common argument.

Free will seems like such a psychologically damaging lie. As if blaming yourself for the outcome of every sad movie you've watched is somehow motivational.

Since coming to accept that free will is farcically impossible, I feel free to just go about my actions with a sense of curious enthusiasm as to what will happen next, safe in the knowledge that que sera sera - whatever will be, will be.
