Listen Later

In a largely deterministic universe where factors beyond our control influence our lives, Is anything truly anyone’s fault?
Similarly, can we genuinely claim credit for our personal achievements or even our traits, beauty, or talents?
Consider our existence as semi-sentient beings who have found ourselves in a universe where the causes of what we experience as life are beyond our control. These include the circumstances of our birth, our genetic makeup, the era and culture into which we are born into, etc. Our lives are largely reactions to effects of causes beyond our control. Given this, how can we legitimately take credit or blame for anything?
