DNA is really interesting to me, as well. I am always fascinated to study people and what just IS and what they CHOOSE. Thanks for stopping and sharing. And I agree, Angela brought out some great points!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18285427147723972295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-14167313303319493392011-11-10T18:02:59.421-05:002011-11-10T18:02:59.421-05:00As I was reading through your post, and saw the co...As I was reading through your post, and saw the comment from Angela which I think is pretty spot-on, I was reminded of a documentary I watched about how there are traits in our DNA, but there is a map that lays over it that turns certain traits on or off, so it's not even enough to have it in the DNA; it needs to be triggered. (It was compared to putting a clear paper over a road map and drawing different paths to get from point A to point B - still the same essential points, but completely different way to take the journey.) I can't remember the name of the movie at the moment - a friend recommended it because it was based on work with identical twins, which I have (and who are very different) so she thought I would be interested. If I come up with it, I'll be back to share. <br /><br />Anyway, good post!

We're dealt certain cards based on the cards that move through the dealer's hand, but how we play those cards is up to us and depends to some extent on how well we were taught (and learned) the rules and nuances of the game.angelaparsonmyershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444590717139156975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8032376069218624542.post-51222007721260913472011-11-06T15:52:44.608-05:002011-11-06T15:52:44.608-05:00I've been tossing this topic around in my mind...I've been tossing this topic around in my mind - not really knowing what I can do with it.
