While I was reading chapter 4, I came across another quote that caught my attention and made me think.
"If I hadn't spent so much time studying Earthlings...I wouldn't have any idea what was meant by 'free will'. I visited thirty-one inhabited planets in the universe, and I have studied reports on one hundred more. Only on Earth is there any talk of free will" (86).
This statement from the Tralfamadorian caught my attention, because I had never thought of 'free will' that deeply before. We live in a society where everyone naturally has it, until you abuse the rules of the society. However, is there really such thing as 'free will'? No matter what you do, there will always be consequences for your actions, whether good or bad.
