Um, wow, that's a little unfair though. When I say people are slaves to their genes I mean it. They don't really mean ill, they're just locked in their own little words - its rather sad. Their social norms are their social norms, they've lived on them, they're stuck to them, and they're way more slaves to life than we are.
Human beings are not ants or bees. if you surrender unconditionally to your most irrational instincts, I think you have no right to complain. For example, I know a girl who had a bf that treated her like s**t, he broke up with her, stole her half of the rent deposit for the place they were living in, kept furniture she had paid for, etc. Then he changed his mind and she went right back to him, he led her to believe he was going to propose to her (and she would've accepted), then changed his mind again and dumped her. They have no common interests and she cannot think of anything positive to say about him apart from looks. She is financiallly independent and there is no question that she was acting of her own free will. My thoughts on this are along the lines of 'You must go to hell in your own chosen way' and 'el que por su gusto muere, hasta la muerte le sabe.'
