The meaning of free will

Free will for human beings is the ability to choose between good and evil. Or at least that's what we're taught. Unfortunately, this is a simplistic version that has always been used to judge human thoughts and actions based on morality, culture, and beliefs, which have varied throughout history, places, and populations.
But is this really all there is to it? Absolutely not. To understand the meaning of free will, we need to delve deeper into how human thought is generated and what influences it. Are we really free to generate a thought? Are we really always free to evaluate our thoughts and modify their processing and trajectory? In reality, thoughts are generated outside of our consciousness, and most of them are beyond our control. For example, when we're hungry, the impulse spontaneously generates related thoughts: What can I eat? Where can I get food? Etc.
Nature determines the birth of our thoughts according to a program of self-preservation and promotion of the species and the individual. Nature also evolves by creating diversity and exploring new biological paths that are unrelated to the laws and morality of human societies. So when do we really decide? When do we reflect and think we've made the right choice? Absolutely not. We decide only when we recognize the nature of our thoughts and decide whether to follow them or act differently. For example, when our decision is deliberately oriented toward collaboration with others and the promotion of others without expecting anything in return, rather than toward self-promotion and self-preservation, we have made a free decision.
