It's important to remind ourselves of the truth every now and then.

We are the sum of what precedes us. As is every living thing. Behaviors, thoughts, suboncscious life directions, and physical traits are only the sum of the genes of our parents, who were the sum of the genes of their parents and so on and so on. Every time a child is spawned, natural selection and evolution select physical and psychological, behavioral traits which will lead to the constitution of a new human "mind" and body. His psychism and physique will be a unique mix of his parents genes. We are programmed, and most of what we think and do is automatic and not chosen. What you ve been exposed to in your childhood and adolescence will determine the way you ll see the world and how people will see you.

Education, environment are standardized. It means even if we are genetically unique, what we learn is often the same for everyone, especially nowadays with globalization. But even educations are different.

Books and studies allow almost everyone to acquire what is needed to better your education, still, love -interest in your survival- from your caregivers is important to develop a happy -chemically happy- personnality from the very beginning.

Hapiness is produced in the brain when you can dominate and basically when you know your odds of survival at the moment or in the future will be better than other people. Feeling dominant -at work, in your car, in the gym- makes you "feel good", and it serves as a coping mechanism to deal with the fact you might suck in others areas of your life - with women etc..- The brain, its capacity to project yourself in the future, and memory have for sole and only purpose to allow you to dominate life around you, or live in cooperation with it. And to kill it before it kills you if needed.

If you dont know what 's wrong with you, look at what's wrong with your parents, grand parents (when they didnt convince you in the firstplace that nothing was wrong with themselves...). What your parents and grandparents didnt get past, will be yours to get past.

Whatever you read or learn by yourself wont change your fundamental genetical or physical traits tho.

What you think/believe in is the sum of all the beliefs, thoughts, you ve been exposed to and recorded thru your eyes or ears. Your brain spends his whole life calculating how to mix all of these things and how these informations can help you survive.

No, never. The problem with me is a natural born predilection towards depression and melancholy but a complete immunity to any sort of true psychosis or syndrome, i.e. insanity. I have known cutters but I have never been one of them.

look, Deciede, bro....I am short, can't get around it...I have good facial genetics...but, I have some health problems...a few yrs back, i had to learn to look at things for what they are, not for what you want them to be...I guess it's a variation on the "God grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference" and the " God doesn't put anything on my plate that I can't handle" (this is if you believe in God).

due to this, i began to accept things, for what they are....and a calmness ensued...don't muddle thru life obsessing over bad genetics, shit you might just outlived everybody on this board---who is Team Bad genetics then?

Depression--go outside on a sunny day or go to the beach---and let the calmness, the wind, the leaves blowing in the wind, be your guide, or just meditate...be introspective and search within...you'll probably find that your Depression is a result of you Suppressing your true self...

I did not retract my statement. There are scientific aspects of many things, that doesn't mean you can explain the essence of things by that aspects.

Geez man, you love dodging the facts.

Two men, one average white man, one athletic black man, begin working out, have the exact same diet, training routine, etc...

After a year, white man has only put on 5kg of muscle mass and much more fat; black man put on over 8kg and almost no fat...

Are you saying some people do not have a better than average genetic response than others to weight training?

Seriously I have seen ghetto black people in the Bronx that eat a shitty diet doing pullups on the jungle gym being bigger and more ripped than a white man working his ass off in the gym.

Pretty obvious fact - genetics = all.
But what you make of your genetics is your job - how bad or good they may be.
Training is like plastic surgery - it can't turn you into a beautiful human being but it can enhance your appearance.

Once again, Deicide is doing his usual whinefest, because he feels his mommy and daddy didn't give him the right "genes" to put on the muscle he wants.

Your blubbering and complaining have done more to hinder your progress than your genetics ever could. First, you were whining when you turned 30; then you were whining because you were in a foreign country. Now, it's this "I've just got bad genetic; woe-is-me; let-me-go-eat-a-can-of-worms" routine.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Either do the best with what you have and bust your tail in the progress, or take up badminton. But for the love of the almighty, CEASE AND DESIST with all this crying.

Not even close! Even Arnold has stated that he's met his share of genetic marvels who didn't do JACK in bodybuilding because they were too lazy and didn't push themselves. He's also met guys who weren't exactly gifted and they ended up, through sheer perseverance and smart and hard work, winning shows like the Universe, even the Olympia.

Once again, either do the best with what you have or zip your lip and take up another hobby. Whining and blubbering ain't putting a single ounce of sinew on your frame.
