    I have the empirical and theoretical evidence to prove that wrong.

    Everybody is self made, not everyone will admit it or recognise it.

    Off all the factors that govern our lives, from the circumstances of our birth, to random chance and our daily routines... Nothing in our lives has a bigger impact on who we are as a person than the choices we make.

    What a depressing view of people.

    As a therapist working with a philosophy of individual empowerment, and seeing it work every day, I'm glad to have my view of life.

    It'd suck to feel like we're all just like plastic bags being blown about in the winds of fate!

    Since you're into philosophy now, you should look into the fact that free will doesn't even exist. Where does that leave your beliefs? Did you learn about people fooling themselves with comforting, self-serving illusions in therapy school?
