Raised is the past tense of coming up. Once something is raised it is up. But does that mean that being raised is always good? People often say, "That's the way I was 'raised'". But what if we weren't raised? What if no habits bad or good were instilled in us? Would we raise ourselves? Would who we are be a manifestation of what our brain functions are without the influnce of the outside world? We have been raised to a certain extent but can we let go of what has been instilled in us and continue to "raise" ourselves. Food for thought.
