None of us choose to be born, Grandpa Albert would remind me. Therefore, when and where we come into the world is quite by accident. But we do come into the world as something tangible. Each of us have a mother and a father. Each of our parents give us our physical identity and a host of inherent ethnic and cultural traits. That is the who that we are. And thereafter the family we are born into and/or that nurtures us gives us the foundation for what we will be.
