There is an old story told of an alcoholic and abusive father who had two sons. When the two boys grew up, one of them also became an alcoholic and abusive. The other never touched alcohol and ended up with a very happy life and marriage.
The boys were asked how they ended up in their circumstances and they both replied with the same answer, "Look at my father. How could I have turned out differently?"
Similarly, the same boiling water will make a carrot soft and an egg hard.
We have a choice in how we respond to our circumstances.
