A common phrase observes well
how attached folks get to their origins,
'You can take a person away
from where they were raised
but you can't take where they born
out of who they are.'.
A quote that seems more cogent
the more damaged and sentimental
beyond all reason their upbringing.
I know too few people well enough
to ask them as friends about the child
vs the adult in them without me
being accused of 'playing the psychiatrist',
but I would love to be able to ask them
'What did you think 'spirituality' was
when you were a child? and as an adult?'
Is it different now, to how you expected it to be?'.
If asked this myself then I still don't know
what the answers would be, but they exist.
