We are all born with a certain package. We are who we are: where we were born, who we were born as, how we were raised. We're kind of stuck inside that person, and the purpose of civilization and growth is to be able to reach out and empathize a little bit with other people.
I prefer my bad habits to the teachings of others.
孔子说:“不到苦思冥想时,不去提醒;不到欲说无语时,不去引导。不能举一例能理解三个类似的问题,就不要再教他了。”
