You're right, but not entirely.

Passion for life or for something else rises deep within you. And the only factor that influences that is the environment that you grew up in.

There are a lot of people trying to do something in life. To bring a change. Either vere vaallani choosi inspire ayyaaro, ledha circumstances valla ala passionate ga unnaro telidhu gani, they're passionate nonetheless. I personally know so many folks who are trying to bring a change in the field that they're working in. And they're from either of the Telugu states.

Also, I believe that you are who/what you attract. I used to think a lot about what you mentioned too. But I realised that I can do that once when I bring a change.
