We were all molded, yes. But to what degree is molding and the out growth of it also a matter of imperceptible imperfections in our brain that cause what ever molding our parents, teachers, etc may have had on our lives to be twisted and not a reflection of reality. And to what degree does this take away from our ability to make realistic decisions that allow us to fit successfully into society? We are not generally born beasts nor are we born stamped with an unchangeable personality. Happen stance however can sure turn us into beasts if our perceptions of reality are altered. Certainly a thought provoking poem.
