do the sands of the past not shape today?

How can the sands of the past not shape this day?
How is it one can live there childhood in a faith and not be shaped by it?

One could say that they carry none of it with them when they change faiths, But they still carry the lessons learned.

Every day is shaped by the ones before it, How can one say yesterday has not shaped them, becouse they are diffrent then what they were then?
How can people say that i had those values there, but now i am this.
so i am not shaped by what i learned then. I could think of no graver insult to the past.
And if one can insult there past as such, then this day you may someday insult the values you have today.

At times it is not a matter of the values you were raised with. At a point one must ask. If a person can cast of all of there values of there spirtual raiseing to do a job, Then one must question this. Do you wish this person to lead you?

Some of us have had to do that, And it is a task that only functions when it is done in the half mesure. When one can purly remove all there own values, One begins to becomes capable of acts that border unspeakable.
And when one becomes capable of the unspeakable, soon there will be a word for it.
I will admit there may be nothing new under the sun, as some would say. But as soon as something is forgotten, it tends to become remembered and all to often relived.

paths, be them all diffrent are there as a vechical of wisdom. They bind us to the lessons learned by those who come before us. Though the people who come after me may choose a diffrent path,
IF they do so becouse they found the path they were called to walk
then all i ask is they live there path to its wisdom, and forget not the values they learned in the path they left.
The lessons you learn from your paths faults. at times may be the dearest lessons of all.
