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.....
