Now you're just being fucking dumb. You are now referring to that which was completely out of my control.
I have control over choosing pop tarts over eggs.
I do not have control over the genes that my parents gave me.
Ok, you've got no control over your genes.
Now let's think about something else. What do you suppose you are a product of, like without anything being left out? Would it be accurate to say that you are a product of your genes and your environment, and nothing else, as in, your whole being is only a mixture of those two influences?
