Give illustrations of ways in which specific styles of foolishness were learned in your early years.

so far i see myself in all 3 foolishness categories lol.
Naive: where i saw the people in the church acting a certain way and then i expected others to do the same. Listening to my sister and mom saying i was a perfect angel as a little girl but in my mind all i can think of all the mess i would get into and my family knew none of it.
Learned: watching other kids and family members act a certain way or deal with certain circumstances shaped my teen and adult life. Not dealing with things that was my responsible for and knowing how to just walk away and leave alot of open conversations.
Practiced: having alot of empty places in my heart looking for others and things to fill it. you pick up unnecessary practices, or reliance on things to ease those areas. I picked up behavior from others avoiding the right behavior that was taught.

A. Naive Foolishness: Babe to 1 year (according to the lesson); I am figuring out what’s in me.
B. Learned Practiced Foolishness: What I saw from relationships that may have help shape my perception. Struggling with stage because my family was raised in the Christain faith but that doesn’t mean I fully embraced it at that time. What was I missing (I thought)? However, I struggled with what should know and what I had no clue about.
C. Practiced Foolishness: It became even tougher for me because I thought I was supposed to figure it out for myself. For me it was the fact that I became aware of learning how cruel this world and people can really be at times. Moreover, I also was struggling with not knowing who I was and how to figure things out to a resolve. The one thing I came to fully realize is that I needed God, I will always need Good, I couldn’t figure it out without Him, because I need His help because I am broken.

I learned in my childhood, to be in control; I lived in a somewhat chaotic environment with others who had different personalities than myself, and to trust only myself and my knowledge and my ability to take care of myself; I did not not get a lot of positive feedback or guidance growing up and felt I was left to figure things out for myself

I don’t remember my early years to age 5.
I know that from an early age I have been ridiculed and laughed at. I was constantly seeking love and attention.
That carried over into ages 6-12. Our home during those years was loud and violent. I found a haven in music and discovered that I had musical ability and that people outside of my family appreciated it and, by extension, me. So I pursued it.
