Thank you for your reply. Said another way. Man is a product of his volition, not his circumstances. Humans make choices...choices have consequences. Cause and effect. If that were not true....responsibiliity would not be a issue.
Said another way...Your decisions determine the life you will lead.
The film 'Kingdom of Heaven' 2005 with the actor Liam Neeson, is a good illustration of these principles. Cheers.
