What forms us, as adults, are our beliefs, our value systems, and our vision or lack thereof. How our lives evolve, depends in some measure, on our judgment, our choices, our view of right and wrong.
But of all things, please remember this, if you observe a very decent individual, with half-way decent morals, fairly good judgment, you best better believe, that his or her parents played a very big part in the development of that worth while person. They are greatly responsible for the outcome, in no small measure, of that individual. So let's hear it for the parents, who thought enough of society, to help to
nuture and care for that individual, to teach them the best that they could, and let them go out into the world to give back the best, that they could. The parents who cared enough for their child, to put forth their very best effort. To instill in their child the, pure sense of empathy, for their fellow man or woman. We are all grateful, to those parents, whoever they may be and whereever they may be. Here, here!
You have our deepest gratitude, now and always.

More the pity that so much time and money is heplessly wasted trying to buld a better society from our weaknesses.
Far too little of our resources are utilised to build from our obvious strengths, including of course the ones that you have described.
Unless there is a major change worldwide, there can be only one outcome. -

Mmm ... I take your point.
But ... sometimes ... I think ...
It's the desire to be nothing like our parents ...
That makes us who we are.

...Hi there, you are so right. I like interesting discussions and I hate talking to myself, so thank you for commenting. I actually took a little time, to think about this after I posted it. There are at least six or seven ways things could turn out for children, There is no definitive book, to me, on parenting so you do the best you can. Each is an individual experience, if you will. But I think, good parents could equal good children, good parents could equal bad children, bad parents could equal bad children, bad parents could equal
good children, mediocre parents could equal mediocre children, mediocre parents could equal high achieving children and so on, to not bore you to death. I did not want to be like my mom, although she was a sweet, lovely person, loved her much, I choose instead to be like my aunt, who I viewed as stronger. Sometimes, other influences take over and take you to a different place than your parents. For instance, who are Steven Speilberg's parents, or Albert Einstein, or Pretty Boy Floyd? We therfore sometimes make our own destiny, regardless of who gave us physical life. Forgive me for being so long, if you like to gab, then be my friend, if not, I so enjoyed you listening to my dribble). Take care. p.s. You have to send the friend invitation, as I have forgotten how to invite friends, Thanks.-

Lol ...
It's true .. you do like to gab.
Me ... I'm more of a comment in passing kinda guy.
But - hey - we can still be friends.

P.S. Er ... wouldn’t the logic of all those children/parent combinations be .. that the latter are kinda irrelevant?-

...Hi there, didn't know you noticed that I love to talk
),
was not aware you left me another message, sorry. I'll get you to talk more. Opposites can attract sometimes. You are very right, all kinds of things reflect outcomes. But you need parents, to feed cloth and help to build character, so that we are not like cheetah or stray puppies. You know, you know.).
Easy does it. -

Agreed...some people are fine specimens because of their parents....whilst others manage it despite them.
