values and beliefs

are they in-grown, or inculcated?
some might agree with the earlier, and others, the latter,

given a dire situation,

intutively, (with intuition, that is.)

you make decisions 
and in that moment of “intuition”
does it really matter whether it is in-grown or inculcated?

wouldn’t it boil down to yourself,
character;

to choose what is most advantageous to self?

but a wise man once said, 
“the greatest, give.”

seems just | | this much, counter-intuitive.
