Bliss VERSUS Free Will

I dont know if anyone is still interested in this subject or not, or if anything i say will add something to the discussion or not.

Pertaining to the original basis of the question, bliss was only attainable in paradise. Adam and Eve eating the fruit was a violation of god's will and as a consquence, adam and eve were cast out of heaven, with the fallout being loss of bliss and gaining free will.

I love having free will. I love choosing what to do and when to do it. However to have bliss, in a scenerio where the happiness would never dull or lessen in anyway shape or form, would not be a bad choice. Although, I completely agree that satisfaction tastes better when sweet follows right after bitter.

I cannot begin to understand what true bliss would feel like. All ive ever know, of happiness is from the choices ive made and the choices of those around me. But all in all i think i would have to disagree with everyone whose posted so far, i would choose bliss over free will. Simply because i believe in a higher power ie christian/hebrew/muslam god, and any choice god could make is better then what man has made for themselves.
