Here is the point of the discussion. There is personal responsibility in every action. But i think that we err at the point of how we get to personal responsibility. When i say that the will is not in an equilibrium state, that is whether to choose this or that i am making a profound point about the will. See the will in the Armenian thinking has no power in the equilibrium state. It is this  proposition where they error. What happens is when the power is attributed to an agency rather than a being as a source then you pragmatism the process of choice. You attribute the will as having power and then the object becomes the source of the wills power.  The will cannot will itself to choose so then you automatically look to the object of a specific choice that caused the will to will.
