You don't choose what mood to have. You don't choose to prefer to act according to your will, or in the best interest of all parties.

The free will is directly dependent on things you can't control.


Everything is dependent on things we can't control. Your logic is basically this:

We don't have free will, because gravity determines that we can't decide to fly. We don't choose what to prefer, but we choose what to DO. I can't choose to be in a good mood right this second, but I can choose what course of action to try to improve my mood.

Sometimes I respond to threads like these(free will allows me to waste time) and sometimes I just shake my head and continue living my life.

Your definition of free will doesn't apply to beings with limits. The world, our circumstances, physical limitations, etc, limit our options - but that doesn't take free will from us.
