What I have been trying to explain all along to HhhhhRosemary

[bliz122122]

"As [the will] is conditioned, but not rigidly determined by past events, it has a relative freedom. For example, the arising of anger need not lead on to angry behaviour, if a person becomes watchfully aware of it, so as to lessen its power. This is because the act of mindfulness brings about a change in the current conditions operating in the mind."
