In life how much of what happens do we actually have
control over. Personally, I think we have control over
many of the little things, but most of the big things are
determined by genetics and fate.
For example, although we control our decisions our character
is determined mostly by genetics.
The older I get the more I see how similar I am to both my
father and mother. I seem to have many of their bad traits.

It's funny though because most parents want their children
to grow up differently from how they grew up, but eventually
they end up doing exactly what they didn't like about
their own upbringing.
