The ible Essay

Are we a product of our decisions or the society in which we live? Which one does really carve the path of our lives and destiny? Is it the environment that indeed influences our life, or is it the will that strives within us? Do your actions speak your words? Or you’re being eaten up by the flow of the society that you’re moving in? We can say that we are a product of both, but how far does your will stand? How much does the society influence your life?
