More then often it means to make a mistake, uncontrolled free will is very dangerous.

Only under a controlled enviroment are we forced to consider others along with or even over our own petty desires.

Good point. So if evil didn't exist within this world, then yeah -"uncontrolled free will" would work out just fine. I can imagine that without evil - life would be a utopia of sorts.

I believe the uncontrollable aspect of our free will in this world has to do with the outcomes though, and who we can really effect with it. We have a limited ability to effect others with this type of free will(in positive or negative ways), but it seems as though the main person we really effect with it is ourselves.
