How amazing, everything we feel is also linked to our DNA, I hope there will be much more research on this in the future. 05-14-2015 9:21pm

Well I think it suggests that our genes influence our perceptions of our reality and in turn then how we respond.  In many ways, we are "programmed".  Now the question becomes, can we change our programming or certain aspects of it? 05-15-2015 6:06am
