INHERITANCE, ENVIRONMENT
AND TRAINING.
Inheritance is what we have to
build from. A man may inherit
habits, looks, and physical weak
ness or strength.
A man may be a drunkard and
four generations later his great-
grandson may be a drunkard too.
We are not responsible for what we
inherit if we inherit weaknesses we
should fight against them and try
to overcome them.
A boy may inherit a weakness to
gamble from his father while his
mother has made him want to be
righteous. If he fights against his
desire and keeps the right company
he can ovefreome it and his off
spring would inherit a power to
fight against evils.
Environment is our surroundings.
