Meaning, Freedom to Choose, Action, and How We Should Act: A Perspective on Practical Philosophy and its Relationship with the Individual

We have a board with twenty round holes in it. We have twenty balls each of which will just fit into any of the holes in the board. We throw the balls at the board and every one goes into a hole. We are amazed. How could such a thing happen? Well, it can. There is nothing out of this world about such a thing happening — it has a coherent base — it is simply unusual, or fast, or more coincidental than we like to believe, but it has rational coherence. It did happen — it was not magic, nor a miracle, it is just hard to believe. Love at first sight!
