If you've come from a hard background, not shown love or regard for other people..

is your behaviour in society really your fault or do you not know any different?

If everyone who came from such circumstances behaved anti-socially or criminally, the argument could be made, but many people overcome such humble beginnings.

Meaning coming from a difficult background can be a factor, but it’s not a given.

Ultimately, people still make choices.

@bijouxbroussard I suppose not being shown love as a kid doesn't necessarily kill our sense of empathy towards others

@SW-User It definitely brings baggage, but I’ve known people who have been proactive in getting help (counseling, etc.) attempting to break the cycle.

My best guy friend once told me he made a point of being a good father by not repeating his father’s mistakes.

@bijouxbroussard you'd have to have a good sense of self awareness
