Let's all give this some thought:
It is worthy of remark that a belief constantly inculcated during the early years of life, whilst the brain is impressible, appears to acquire almost the nature of an instinct; and the very essence of an instinct is that it is followed independently of reason.
—Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man, 1871
I think I live this out. Trying to become authentically the person God wishes me to be is discerning those habits or instincts and finding where the choice can be noticed and then changed. . . .
