What am I Doing Here?

You Asked for it!

Day 4078

Question: "...you are what ..."

and so forth.
"You are what you are." I think that I have heard that first part many times.
Could we interject as a further thinking part, "Are we influenced by nature or nurture?" Then the question would take a lot more time to think what is the answer.
A few times scientists have studied twins who have been separated. (Divorce with each twin going to a parent.) Or maybe if the children had lost their parents due to an accident or just adopted by other people. One twin goes to a wealthy set of parents/people/gay couple who wish to adopt. And the other twin waits a few years because of some birth defect and is not appealing to people.
STOP: Fact is that Louis Armstrong the best jazz and trumpet player in history and my opinion was adopted by white Jewish people. They gave him excellent care. He even used some of the Jewish language in some of his songs. Later, after getting a trumpet, he went on to become this best in music. His name is still mentioned among the 'greats' today. (Maybe I will tell the story of how he got the name 'Satchmo'.
But for other children, there is no one who reached the status and acclaim that Mr. Armstrong did. (Love that man and music!) This could fall under the category of nurture.
Now maybe nature is harder. It could be climate. It could be where the person lived. Or it could be a person's intelligence with another factor. (See I told you that this might be harder.)
Climates determine the food you can get to eat, the clothes you wear, or place you live in. Most of the days, there are different number of hours of the day. A cold front that comes along can kill plants you might want to grow for food. Animals of this particular climate might have thick hair or thin coats.
Now I am not a scientist of professions that have studied the prompt "....you are who you..." I have happy where and who I am. I have lived in one place and went to school for another place. I just know that if I was not ready, I would not be comfortable and have to ADAPT. If I was less intelligent or an animal in the lower group of animals , then it would be 'here today, and (sniff) gone tomorrow.'
Thanks for this prompt. Maybe I'll read some articles about this and be better prepared for the next prompt like this one.
You asked for it and.........you got my opinion.
Have a good day.
