Singer explains that the attitude towards the inevitable creates free will. The conscious choice not to be influenced by the inexplicable of life and to maintain a positive outlook gives the choice necessary for free will to exist. Free will, he argues, is largely a matter of attitude. Although Gimpel's outlook depends on strong faith, with it most things that are out of Gimpel's control become insignificant. He can't control his wife's infidelity, but from his point of view these things don't matter. At every step, you are able to make the choice to let external forces influence your behavior and feelings or to consciously know that such forces are just a part of life and continue with your life.
