    What if it is my true will to impede the true will of myself and others?

    Would I then impede my own true will? Thus allowing others to travel along their course peacefully? Or would I not rest until I had attacked the true will of others as best I could?

    If such a will could not be, then does true will have a certain nature?
    If such a will could be, does that mean that true will can attack itself?

    Is it the Sun's true will to give us skin cancer?
    I don't see true will as a servant to be whipped. Its the master that does the whipping. 😜

    Silly hypothetical. Cute little plaything.

    Why not ask: What if it were your True Will not to do your True Will? (It would, in effect, be the same question, and keep you in the Abyss just as long.)

    Or 'what would be the nature of an impediment for people doing their Will(s)?' might be better

    Makes me think of those old science fiction shows where some evil robot or computer would be defeated by a logical fallacy.
