Ramdon Thought

So I was sitting in class today and the teacher is explaining how the environment and culture that we grow up in can influence the kind of people we grow up to be.

His examples:
If you grew up in a church-going home you are more likely to go to church, think stealing is bad, think lying is bad etc.

Whereas if you're raised by a family of thieves, you are more likely to grow up and steal.

In other words, you are likely to grow up and become like the type of people that raised you.

My immediate thought...

"I was raised by assholes"
