Free will is the power or capacity to act at your own pace or discretion.
And although many have debated over the true meaning of free will, it’s simply the ability to do what you like.
As you exercise free will, you can choose to do either good or evil deeds. For example, you may hear an English speaker say, “Use your free will to do good deeds.” The speaker is telling the listener to do no evil.
You may have seen the Japanese pictorial maxim “The Three Wise Monkeys?” These little guys use their “free will” to see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.
A “free spirit” is a person who thinks and acts without worrying about social conformities. Often, it’s writers and artists who are free spirits.

In the manga series Imadoki, it’s said that Youji Kugyo “is a free spirit and runs away from the pressures of his high-status family to become a photographer.”
