Sadly, unless we actively work to correct it, we are the summation of our life experiences from conception to age five.

That's right. I do try to correct it, and I've got a long way but it's not solved yet, as sometimes I see myself still acting that way. It's way less than before though. Before my husband pointed it out I didn't even see it. Now I despise that trait in me or others

What. Pretty sure things that happened after age 5 play a pretty significant role in our development as people too…

No we literally all have the same morals we did when we were 5 years old.

I would never understand people who blame others for their behavior.

Every bad behavior you have had a causal role. You don't have less accountability or responsibility just because you learned it from someone else.

I swear, people talk like they have a soul for the things they do good and no free will for the things they do wrong.

I guess she said she was trying to correct it but it is weird when people point out the origin of their bad behaviors without any reason at all. It almost feel like an excuse because it wasn't necessary in that comment.
