Can you be forced into doing anything against your will?

By
 Is it actually possible to do something against your will? First of all, let's assume that we have free will. And by that i mean that we have total control over our decisions and actions, whether or not these decisions/actions that we take are scripted or pre-programmed by some external entity is irrelevant. The question is as follows: if you take a decision, is it possible for someone to force you to act in an opposite way - not change your mind - by actually make you go against what you decide to go for?

Why is "Right/Left" directly understandable to me (one link or one layer of thinking), while "Horizontal/Vertical" need at least two links? Is it because i'm bad at "localization thinking" if that expression means anything? probably not si...

Gifts aren't time related

By
Why are we getting pressured to buy certain people gifts? Gifts are not supposed to be time related, by that i mean having a deadline or any specific time for the matter, nor be event related. A gift is something you get someone when you notice the soon-to-be-gift first, then you think about the person that popped in your head at that time (e.g "oh, person x really loves candle socks, i'm gonna get him this one!') THAT is a gift. The things someone gets for his birthday are not gifts, the gifts you get at Christmas are not gifts... and so on, any 'gift' you get because of a time related event, is not a gift; it's a social token that you have to give back !
