This is not correct...<br>We are certainly influenced by our circumstances, but how we choose to react to those circumstances is a personal choice given to us by our free will. And having free will does not make us products of our nature. Being a product of my nature implies I have no free will... But I choose not to be a product of my nature - it may have an influence, but ultimately I have the choice! :)</p>Legend of GTue, 03 Feb 2009 06:16:58 -0000http://www.biscuitinthebasket.com/2009/02/02/change-7pi7d/#comment-6734491<p>I started writing this comment by disagreeing with what you wrote in your post, and as I wrote down my examples where I thought things were different from my perspective, I realised that actually - you are right. The choices which I made were triggered by an event (circumstance), and if it wasnt for these events, I would have maintained my status quo.</p><p>Good post, and thanks for opening my eyes to something that I was a touch ignorant about!</p>biscuitinabasketMon, 02 Feb 2009 07:08:02 -0000
