A flock of blackbirds populates the leafless tree of late winter.
One, for no observable reason, flies away.
The flock follows.
Why?
Likewise, why do I sometimes get up and move later wondering where I was going?
Why do I spontaneously say awkward things?
Why do I make a spontaneous unnecessary purchase?
Why did I grab that doughnut at the last meeting?
Some people say they just want to be left alone to do their own thing.
Are they consciously exercising rational free will?
Or, do we fly off like the flock of blackbirds spontaneously following some unknown leader?
