Why?
People have little responsibility in their own destiny. Your genes, your environment, good/bad parenting, whether you were born privileged (like the new royal prince George) rich or poor, none of which you decide or choose as a child.
George will probably be King one day, is he responsible for his destiny? No not really.
Genes and environment determine 'destiny' choice has nothing to do with it.
I agree with Brillskep, people can take an active part in their destiny. You can't control everything - genes and early environment are set, and you cannot control your past. But you can control in how you respond to your environment and what direction you want your life to take.
Thanks for this!
