Question

Do we have free choice?
If everything we will earn this year is decreed for us from Rosh Hashanah to the next Rosh Hashanah, then basically, if on the night after Rosh Hashanah I stop working, I should receive exactly the same amount that was decreed for me.
Is that really so?
And if you say that a person is judged at every single moment, and every day, and every eve of the new month, etc.—well then, what did Rosh Hashanah accomplish? In any case I am judged, and in any case I can overturn everything in the blink of an eye if I repent and stop wasting my time.
And what is the point of judgment if in any case the results are the result of my actions? What is the point of all the ritualism and the horrifying liturgical poems like Unetaneh Tokef, or worse than that: For behold, like clay?
The very fact that there is a verdict undermines the foundation of free choice; and if there were no judgment, then what would be the point of free choice? If there is no reward and punishment, then why do I need free choice? You could give it up and put the world on automatic.
