There was a book out awhile ago titled, "Everything I know I learned in Kindergarten"....or something like that.
Bosh! That's for a "Robot" programmed with certain input info. Humans are ALWAYS learning. Life is a continuous learning experience.
This summer I tasted "chocolate covered ANTS". This taught me to never again try to eat a Chocolate Covered insect of ANY kind.
I was educated (at Northwestern Univ Tech School) and trained (at General Electric) to be an "Engineer". When I discovered (at 22yrs of age) that I had replaced an engineer (52 yrs of age) who had been with the company for almost 25 yrs and was being "let out to pasture BEFORE his Vested Retirement Rights were set"....I decided to spend my Off-Time looking for a business I could start where I would NOT be dependent upon someone else for my income.
After about a year I found one and even though it had to do with "Selling", of which I knew nothing, (All my education and training was in Laboratories sans human contact) I decided I could LEARN by "experience" and "Trial & Error".
So...with a frightful wife and 2 babies, I gave my 2 week notice and started my biz. It was "Sink or Swim" time and...although it took me a few weeks to get my first sale...I quickly learned HOW to SELL. Which has been helpful to me my whole life. (And, I'm STILL learning)
Same with Religion. I knew there was "something else"..."out there", and I was not just a creature that evolved from a frog or monkey. That "something else" is God. And I "learned" of the different ways humans choose to worship Him.
So...yes...you can "say" you "put everything Behind you" BUT.....YOU, as a human being, have been INSTILLED with certain things by your parents, your early School and Church experiences AND...your "peer" group.
YOU have discovered, via your experiences, of what to expect in certain situations and HOW you have chosen to REACT to these stimuli.
And...you are continuing to learn....daily.
