Then again, I don't know that we have a lot of control over what we become. From birth, others impact the way we think and act. Events in our lives cause us to think in certain ways, and influence the things we do and the choices we make. Our geneics are what we live with every second of every day. Yes, we are supposed to have free will and be responsible for our actions. But, don't our actions depend on our experiences? Things we choose to do are based (in my case) a lot on what I've experienced in the past. What are the chances of things turning out right? I think about what I've done and how they turned out...
