Nothing wrong with that if used in a positive manner to come to a better understanding of what makes different people think and act in certain ways. Sometimes it may be the case, and sometimes not, but nevertheless gives one some background on the differences of the time frames in which we were raised and how that might impact us.
Many of us think the same way, but can't say it so beautifully. One thing for sure is that we are making great strides as time goes by, trying to understand others, both in family life and in behavioral science where it has been learned that many personality traits are inherited.. It still takes patience, overlooking a lot, and great strength and perception to continue any relationship for a long time. A sense of humor and good old common sense is a great help in getting along with others.
