> Who ever said that free will = freedom from willfulness?

        In my experience, many people insist "free will" is "having
the ability to do otherwise" even if this "otherwise" is other than
what someone really wants or their true "willfulness". As in
supposedly, some people freely choose hell by their actions.

        If anyone really chooses eternal damnation (or any decision
that resulted in drastically less value), are they really free?
