63 | Freedom and Your Agency

I am reliably informed that with great beer comes great responsibility. OK. Certainly with Freedom comes Responsibility. You have AGENCY as a person. Freedom is for agency. I am sometimes quick to throw in the towel and say: I have no power here, no options, no choices, no mas. But I am always an AGENT; I am an actor as in “active”; I am a cause. Not THE cause, but A cause. John Paul II compares the attitude of “I am a cause” to “something is happening to me or in me over which I have no influence.” You are God’s representative on Earth. You have agency. What does that mean?
