Ramchal (Maamar HaIkkarim 6): It       important to know that man’s actions can be divided into two       categories. The first category is that which is either good or bad       because it is either a commandment or a sin. The second category       are those actions which are neither inherently good or bad because       they are not connected with a mitzva or sin. Concerning those       actions which are connected to a mitzva or a sin – a man has total       freewill and he is not forced in any way. In these matters Gd       watches whether man observes His commandments and rewards or       punishes him accordingly. However for those matters which are not       connected to mitzva or sin – man is no different than other       creatures in being influenced by environmental forces. He can be       forced to act in a certain manner – whether it is to preserve       mankind or to provide him with reward or punishment according to       what he deserves. Thus Gd supervises everything, judges       everything and makes necessary decrees…
