In the book
Our tradition drew this line long before the science arrived. Maimonides, following Aristotle, separated three things I want you to carry for life: nature, what is inherent in you; nurture, what is learned; and inclination, a built-in tendency to act or feel a certain way. An inclination is a disposition, a standing urge — like a clutch with a tendency to slip: not a fate, but a pull you must account for. — Who Is Flying (Self, Nature & Nurture)
