"teach a child in the way they should go that they may not depart from it"
Works both ways.....but yes our decisions are ours to own regardless of the past that has directed those steps. We don't have to be apart of such things but many blindly follow.
I encourage all to be their own....some prefer not and fall in line.
Agreed. Ultimately we are responsible for our own decisions or there is no such thing as responsibility.
Remember, we grew up in this system and can now see it for what it is. How did that happen? Did we change our minds? Did an outside force act upon us?
We must let go of the excuses. We are responsible for our own destinies.
