"A second truth about our accountability is to know that we are not the
helpless victims of our circumstances. The world tries to tell us that
the opposite is true: imperfections in our parents or our faulty genetic
inheritance are presented to us as absolving us of personal
responsibility. But difficult as circumstances may be, they do not
relieve us of accountability for our actions or our inactions. Nephi was
right. God gives no commandments to the children of men save He
prepares a way for them to obey. However difficult our circumstances, we
can repent."
-President Henry B. Eyring
So, so true.
