Scaredy, that’s a lot of free will being marshaled for the sake of gum health.
Other people would say “oh well, I need gum graft”.
I find it fun to hear people argue that free will has nothing to do with being fat or eating junk food. But “say no to drugs” and “you have the free will to become anything you want in this world” or “with God’s help you can abstain from sex.”
Gum health is not a game. I really want all my teeth. However I may not be marshaling any free will to do this. I may just be going through my pre-wired plan. My gums will be what they will be. Which doesn’t excuse me from making the efforts I am predestined to make.
I think of my gums as accident victims, and that I need to nurse them carefully back to robust health.
