Abstract

Is purposeful ignorance the key to a happy life? Should you choose to believe in free will to give your life meaning? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, a depressed philosophy professor is a deep believer in the lack of free will. Everything from his job to his divorce, to his depression, had to happen exactly as it did. Eventually, his drinking catches up to him and he is put into a recovery hospital. It’s a long, hard road to recovery but he begins to wonder if the false belief in free will is the key to living a happy and successful life. Months later he is released from the hospital, moves to the Dominican Republic, and goes back to drinking and enjoying retirement alone.
