[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 325110"] Okay....about 99% processed [I][B]Nature determines how high it is possible for you to fly. Nurture determines how close to your limits you can get. [/B][/I] And I think it is 99% accurate....but still does NOT take into account choice and/or free will. [I][B]We can have a certain ability. We can be given certain opportunities. However, it is choice, not chance that determines our destiny (by and large). [/B]To make matters more complicated...I do wonder if it more difficult for our difficult children to make good choices....BUT I do think it is within their ability...just perhaps harder. Perhaps we might have to take this into consideration to be fair and reasonable. However, one can not do the hard work for another human being. One can not tip the balance and make things too easy for another. One can not tip the balance so far as to make life miserable for ourselves.
