Why do some people react with courage and love under pressure, and why do some react with selfishness and destruction?

I think it's the old nature vs. nurture debate.

That's a question I debate quite often. Sometimes the answer can be obvious if you have one person who comes from a stable family who had a strong presence in their early childhood years and the other may either come from a broken home with neglect and abuse or inspite of parents having a strong presence the child may have been "babied" so much to the effect that they never suffered any discipline. But then I think of my father who comes from a family of eight who immigrated to the states from holland in the 60's. Their parents had a prearanged marriage in Indonesia...I really would rather not get into too much detail out of respect...but sufficite to say that all eight of the children had horrible childhood. As I said I can't say more but I have no idea why my father turned out as well as he did. He is like no other in his family...everyone adores my father b/c of the great giving person he is...he is always putting himself last...I have no idea...my brother and I were raised by the same parents...and while we both hold all the strong values from our parents we are quite different.

Sometimes the way a person has got treated in the past has had an effect on it or the way they see someone treat another person

People either walk in the Spirit or they walk in the flesh.
