negi, we dont bring the past up in a prideful manner. negi, i dont know anyone that is prideful of their past. but it is through our past experiances that we gain knowledge and wisdom on how to pull other people out of the fire. take a drug addict seeking help to quit. he can go to a shrink and hear about all the book knowledge of this guy. but all that is going to do is drive the man out of the office not to return. but if he went into an office with a man that has been through it and knows about, the drug addict is going to be more apt to be like wow this guy has been there and knows exactly what i am going through and talking about. when i mention your youth i am not exactly talking about your age. rather youth in living life. 2 different things. i will explain later.
