Life Decoded: Hardware vs Software

The origins of life remain largely unknown to us. Scientists have various theories, but many of those theories have relatively weak legs.
What is the functionality of the soul? How do we inherit our abilities? Where are the ideas coming from? All this is still quite a mystery. We have some ideas, but none of us has a complete picture, only fragments.
Many die-hard Five Element experts claim that our destiny, determined through the BaZi Chart, is all that matters, but I strongly disagree with that. Our birth charts are essential, but, in my opinion, they hold only 30%-40% of a person’s information. Through our research, we learned that genetics plays a considerable role in shaping our personalities as well.
One could have a Chart identical to Mark Zuckerberg‘s, who, btw, has a superb Chart, but if that person’s genetics are inferior, they might not reach the same level of success.
Our genetics is responsible for our hardware; it shapes our physical appearance. The birth Chart functions more like software. Those familiar with how computers work know that if your hardware is outdated, it won’t run new software. At the same time, if your hardware is in perfect shape but you’re running faulty software, you won’t get satisfying results.
Therefore, what we are looking for is a complete package, from our genetics, which involves several generations, to the surroundings, upbringing, and, in the end, the birth Chart itself. Once all these layers are aligned positively, the person can expect exceptional achievements in life.
