At the end of the day, we are just brains attached to spinal cords.....all the rest is just a complex life support system for those two things.

And that brain and spinal cord are subject to so many chemicals and electrical impulses that it is astounding we exist at all.

Everything impacts the choices we make, and while it might seem like we have free will....we are just acting in response to things that have been thrust upon us, oftentimes against our will.

I don't know about you guys, but I never had any say in who my parents would be, what country I would be born in, how tall I would be, what kind of hormonal levels I would have, what genetic predispositions I would have.....and yet all of those things have had a PROFOUND effect on shaping me into the person I am today. Had a chemical or two been tweaks a little differently, I could have turned out to be a serial killer.

Some people don't like to think about this, because they insist on everyone being in control of their lives, and how everyone has the choice to not do certain things. But that's also easy for them to say, when their actions have, so far, allowed them to just be normal run-o-the-mill people.
