Just as we have different tribes, ethnic, cultures, and the likes, same way our morals are different.
First and foremost, the way parent A brings up their children may be different from the way parent B does theirs and the way at which children raised by each parent accept and live by these upbringing also differs.
Most children are raised by strict parents who live based on policy and absolute instructions but then, they are still way behind good morals.
Churches with strict and die-like doctrines, whereas the smell of act of infidelities fills up the atmosphere and church environs.
Even cultures practiced in some places just to put fears in people in eradicating bad behavior still doesn't make people desist from still falling into the trap of such acts.
These particularly points it out to us that either it's an upbringing, cultural values to be instilled or religion, or even combine these three together as someone who calmly took all lessons to heart, your personal morals still matters and overrides them.
What shall it profit a man that has the whole knowledge but couldn't make use of the knowledge. A slang we normally say as students when we were still in college and even till now that "you go school but school no go you" which means you can have the whole knowledge of the right thing to do but still choose to do the wrong thing.
Talk of a pastor who preaches against infidelity but then he's in a secret affair outside his marriage. Some even go as far as marrying two wives. Can we say they do not know the right thing but because no matter what religion may say, or the way they were brought up or raised, they still have a mind of their own to follow.
For me, I stand out not in morals because of how I was religiously fed or raised by my parents alone but because I have a mind of my own, to know for myself which and which to hold on to I living a peaceful life I envisioned, and the ones I needed to trash because they do not look okay to me. So whatever consequences follows my choices, I am always ready to face it and from this realizations and experiences, I keep brushing up my reasoning which teaches me on how to avoid same errors in the nearest future or to put more efforts on the ones that resulted good.
Culture, religious and parental upbringing are just like foundations of humans life where you built your further lifestyle on but not a determinant of the kind of behaviour we pull off later on in life.
Just like every child starts with multiplication table or addition and subtraction of stones or strokes as counting, or HTU/TU (Hundred Tens Unit), these upbringing help create our startup while we build further to whatever we want.
Breaking people's trust may not legally be a crime, but I've built myself to not let people down because they confided in me with their challenges or hidden secrets.
