I have an unhealthy world view, where all my failings and accomplishments are attributed to genetic and environmental influences beyond my control. If only I could snap out of it and take responsibility for my actions...that feeling of accountability would surely spur me on to take pride and feel guilt about my deeds, leading to improved behavior. Just the thought to take responsibility is all that would be required, but is it possible to take responsibility for something one is not truly in control of? Thoughts?
