Of free will and chocale chip cookies

Free will to most people is defined as the ability to choose and do- -free from any influences. But in reality this free will rather belongs to a mentally ill patient...What the bible teaches is that all persons are born with wills that are free to choose according to its prefences and circumstances . So if someone offers you a chocolate chip cookie and you love chocolate you will choose to eat it, yet if you are allergic a diabectic or you know the person does not know how to bake you may choose not to eat. Yet you may take the cookie even if you are allergic,diabetic or know for sure they can't bake because you like them,you don't want to hurt their feelings or they are the bosses relative or you are depressed etc. Your will is freely choosing according to its prefences and circumstances.
