Life itself is a teacher, consciously or unconsciously we learn everyday. Some are positive while some others are negative, but we are learning.

When you desire something in other and you tried to imbibe it into your behavior or character, my friend, you just completed a learning process.

Just look at the story you shared, movies at times can make one go astray if you are not wise enough, just look at you implementing what you learnt forgetting the cultural bound, thank God you don't end up saying f**k you dad like some of the white dudes would do...... I won't like to go deeper than this, I'm becoming too emotional about him too

Our surroundings are filled up with lessons, pick up the best you can, and ensure you use wisdom in applying them.
