No, no will here.
If one has no family/friends, then does one need a will?
I would think a will is more personal than public. One must will to have a will, right?
Will you have a will?

I scrawled something on a piece of paper once,
want to hear it?

Was it an unintelligible line of questioning?

Yes, please!!!!!!!!

[CENTER]No, I think it's the best final statement you can leave. I just hope is clear; without questions because we will not be able to answer really. Ask questions now, you just might get some answers.
:bigsmile:

I want to write a will, but I change my mind quite often as what to out in it. Also it it is a legal document which makes it's costly to change every time. I do want to write a will, but a marriage settles a lot as well.

One of the other, pracical reasons to marry instead of writing a will is tax purposes; in Holland non-related persons pay high taxes on an inheritance.

Will is a tricky thing, even to define.
Must one have be cognizant of his/her actions to say that they had a will?
Or must one simply be animate?
If one must simply be animate than all animals have a will and all is not stimulus/response.
I prefer to think of thing this way out of a sense of romance, however, it is a tough call to convince.
Many assume and maybe rightly so that all is simply a Skinnerian black box stimulus/response. The complexity of the functions inside the box are neither here nor their. The steps are essentially the same. Stimulus -> black box -> action.

Or is will an even less definitive spiritual device attached directly to the function of the soul, or may even be synonymous with the soul. This stacks up well with many religions that profess a sense of responsibility/divine retribution/justice for transgressions against the laws of the univers or a particular diety's code of conduct. Somewhere we must have a definitive agency to act/think, or there is no justice in said justice, it would simply be punishment of the the ignorant, like whipping "dumb animal".

well I suppose enough rambling,

It seems to me that to ask whether people have wills, if it means anything, is to ask whether they have wants and desires. And the answer to that is, obviously they do.

But what of the will in the form of a will,
Should our desires out perform our life?
In the form of a will (testament) are we not alive?
