And so you could be a more pleasant and tolerant person, if you really tried. Your genes do not make you like you are, insofar as you are conditioned to be, you have the choice and power to change, to gain empathy and sympathy, to become emotionally aware of other people's reality holding the same validity as yours... so for us both, maybe I should diet, and you should work on being better as well... maybe we shall both see improvements, or maybe not. All one can do is try as much as one can.
