               GOVERNING FACTORS OF YOUR  BEHAVIOUR

The behavioural traits of any individual primarily have two components- genetic and non- genetic ( external).Genetic component refers to the impact of genes which you have inherited from your parents. An example to  quote is the  temperament of a person . It is directly impacted by the genetic factor and somewhere or the other resembles to that of any of the parent. Now , one could conclude that the temperament of two twins must be exactly same . But its not the case because incase of twins also , the percentage of genes inherited from each parent may vary and consequently the overall effect will also vary. You characterise any  person as reserved or social. It is also the consequence of genetic traits.External factors mainly decide the path you wish to opt in your life, your lifestyle etc. Its a very obvious fact that person learns and is mostly affected by what he sees around, listens around and the ongoing trends of his time. As a child grows, his circle goes beyond the family and home. The moment he starts learning about the actual conditions of his time, the instant he starts interacting with other individuals of that time and age, his thinking and the way of looking at life starts getting moulded in some way or the other. Several other factors decide the degree of diversion of your thoughts such as level of comparison you have opted in your life, your level of satisfaction , your company etc. Sometimes these external factors even have the power to overshadow the impact of genes gifted to you. We all would surely agree that we can't everytime blame the parents if their child is engaged in any wrong activity.  Its not so that parents of a robber have taught him or asked him to move upon that path.Then why?? Sometimes even parents feel helpless about the condition and they curse themselves for poor upbringing of their child.  But its not the case.  Its not their fault. Its just the case the child was not able to sustain or being affirm on his values and was easily swiped away by the materialism of external world.Parents might feel that they are able to give a nice life to their child though not being able to afford a lavish bungalow or a big car. But they are not aware about how their child is looking at the outside world. It may be possible that level of satisfaction of parents and child varies. When a person looks at other persons of his age , he might develop a complex that he lags behind. When it is impossible for him to control his attractions towards materialistic world, dark time begins. He starts searching for some easy way to acquire what all he doesn't possess. And most of the times, this easy way leads you towards hellish conditions. But  the main point to be noted here is - genetic traits may be suppressed but never diminished.The moment anyone succeeds to remove this rusty layer formed due to external conditions and situations , you will be able to see yourself in true sense and what you should be.One may wrongly conclude that external traits are stronger than genetic ones. Let's look at the other side as well. We have few examples before us where persons have gone  against the ill qualities which they have got in their genes. The sole reason for this is being able to get a company helping them out to realise the difference between right and wrong. They succeed in recognising that what they are being taught is not always right. This side is referring to those cases where parents have been deflected towards the wrong path but their child is able to protect himself from the same hell and is able to do something better in his life. So , both genetic as well environmental factors have their pros and cons. It totally depends upon what percentage you have adopted from each category.You don't have any control over the genetic factor because that you naturally inherit. Focus on the external surroundings you are exposed to. You may control them partially though not   completely.  Be in a good company and regularly introspect yourselves.  I can't assure but can console that it will help out in some way or the other............

  May everyone be blessed with a  well dignified and   meaningful life.....
