The phrase “born this way” has the potential to be either inspirational or lazy.
If someone uses the phrase “I was born this way”, pay particular attention to what comes next. Why are they saying they were born that way?
If it’s to excuse their behavior, then it’s lazy.
If it’s to explain their accomplishments, then it’s inspirational.
How were you born?
Helpless and useless.
A burden to society.
But you know what? You don’t stay that way.
You learn, you develop, you become better.
You overcome how you were when you were born.
If you are still how you were when you were born, don’t you think it’s time to grow up?
and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
John 9:19
