It's an interesting point, same stimulus, two men, why does one respond differently to the other? What's the earlier cause and effect going on? The first half hour or so of the 3rd Zeitgeist movie ("Zeitgeist: moving forward") linked below, gives a great description of the fallacy of genetics as a possible solution but talks about the related idea of pre-disposition. I don't like to make excuses that absolve anyone of responsibility, but it seems somewhat credible that it could stack the odds a little against you when forks in the road appear in front of you in life.
