You are destined. The accidence of your birth determines your country and race, your parents and family, your economic status
at birth, your social norms and so on. If you were born to say an aborigine, you would be simply brought up in the primitive ways. You would be naked and would learn to hunt with arrows and spears and to gather fruits and roots. If you are born to an Eskimo, you would be hunting fish in their obsolete ways in the frigid waters of the North Pole area. In either case you would get no education and your intelligence would remain dormant and underdeveloped. You would be leading an animal life for most of your life.
Suppose you got birth in Japan or the US! You would be sharing the wealth, culture and their scientific advancements. You would be properly educated and learn to be independent to lead your life the way you want it. You would be in free society enjoying liberal social mores.
If your birth were in a strictly Islamic country, you would be forced to be an Islam and if you happened to be a girl your life would be very similar to that of a slave. You would be a slave to the male, mainly concerned with the sexual gratification of the male, delivering children and looking after them.
Suppose you got birth in a poor South Saharan nation! Probably you would die of starvation or a contagious disease even before reaching the age of adolescence!
Now look at the other side. If you were born as the son of Queen Elizabeth! You would be automatically the Prince of Wales! You would be the future king without having done anything to merit it! If you got birth in the 18th century in Africa you would have ended up your life, most probably, as a slave. Suppose you were born 10,000 years back! You would be living like a primate of today.
Suppose you were born in the Nehru family! There is one hundred percent chance that you would be the next Prime Minister! If you were the son of Dhiru Bai Ambani or say Warren Buffet, you would be automatically one of the richest persons in the world!
But if your parents had AIDS you would contract it. If they had cancer/diabetes/HT/Cholesterol you would stand a chance to get them.. Your health is very much genetically determined. Even your emotions are gene-controlled. Your laziness, anger, hardworking ness have all been inherited. In short your life has already been decided by the accidence of your birth.
