Re: life
Yes, to an extent. But your life is also influenced by the choices others make. For example…as a kid, you depend upon your parents for not only your basic needs but also the choices that they make which impact the quality of your life/development as a person. The good/bad decisions of another person (even a stranger)…can affect your life…which would mean that there are certain things we can control and others that are beyond our control. Life is a mix.
