“We know right from wrong because we learn it, one way or another, we learn it. Sometimes from our parents, who spend most of our early years teaching us how to survive, snatching our hands away from burners and electrical outlets, keeping us away from the bleach.

These lessons that we learn by doing are pivotal to our development, but not everything can be learned that way.”
