Greetings!

Are we the product of a higher order?

I.) We did not conceive ourselves.

II.) We did not pick the point in man’s history, which we would inhabit.

III.) We did not choose our genetic structure, that is to say our genetic traits, characteristics and tendencies.

IV.) We did not choose our parents.

V.) We did not choose our country of origin, our societal environment (i.e., the society in which we were raised).

VI.) We did not choose the events and influences of our lives that did their part in shaping our development (i.e., our early environmental influences).

VII.) We did not create our own belief system – our belief system existed prior to our taking it.

VIII.) And lastly, we did not choose our motivations – those motivations, or driving forces that go about to impact our lives, continually – each day - inspiring us to do this or that.


All told, we simply live out those ‘scripts’ that were given us.

Howbeit with the illusion of our own ‘free will’ firmly in place.
