Agency

Class was interesting today because we were prompted to write about agency. One of the questions that came up was something like "can you sell anything?" and "what should we not sell?" To me, basically anything can have a price, in a temporal or physical sense. Land is sold, people have been and are still sold today, goods, etc. Also in a metaphorical or analogical sense, your spirituality can be sold. Do we "sell" ourselves to the devil or to Christ? Do we "sell" ourselves to Daoism or Confucianism? We have our own choice to choose what to believe, when to believe or how to believe in something. It's our own personal submission of our conscience.We can be forced to do something we don't want to, such as if you are a slave, but nobody MAKES you do something. A slave could just quit and refuse to work, even if the consequences are death, that's the free will. You can never completely sell your free will.
