This question has been at the heart of most psychological controversies and is nearly impossible to answer. Neither nature nor nurture can account for the majority of all instances, so it would have to be narrowed down to a specific case--even then, it may be extremely difficult to determine which idea holds more importance.

For example, are mentally disabled people this way due to nature or nurture? Well, there are people who have become mentally disabled due to both instances, so it requires study of the individual case in order to be sure.

Nature is what will be the biggest influence on temperament, and your nature temperament will stay with you the rest of your life (your temperament does not change).

It is not accurate to make a blanket statement that humans have more control over their destinies based on being a product of nature rather than nurture. Both nature and nurture influence human development and behavior, and individuals have varying degrees of control over their destinies regardless of these factors. Additionally, the interaction between nature and nurture is complex and can differ from person to person.
