...we were raised in an intensely rigid religious environment. It was impossible to live up to the expectations. While my sister and I fell away from the church, we both seemed to keep our morals. But my brother seems to be questioning even that. I just don't know how to explain to him that even though all we were taught was extreme and over the top, there were some things about it that were right... being the good guy no matter how much it may seem the opposite is deserved... not hurting others... not seeking revenge...that we are in control of our own destinies...no matter what is thrown at us, we still have a choice. It seems like he no longer believes even the basics. I just don't know how to teach him otherwise, other than through example.
