This is a perspective which is logical enough.
Like any other habits, we pick up habits from people around us such as our parents, friends, teachers in school, spouses, the media and so forth. The key is choose the people you associate with WISELY.
For those who had bad choices, it's not too late. For those who are not accustomed to performing virtuous acts or rather virtuous acts are not part of their habitual routine, the advice i did receive and would like to share with others is - FAKE it till it's REAL.
The act of faking becomes a habit and eventually it can be so natural it becomes real.
