The problem in life is other people have free will too. I told this to a friend once who was upset that a guy she loved didn't love her enough to stay, as opposed to moving far away. "Why did God take him away from me?" ME: "Well, God had nothing to do with it. He has free will too. If God interfered on your behalf, he'd have no free will." That's the problem with free will - other people have it too, which ironically limits it.

Can't control other people, unfortunately.
