Great topic! I have to admit I share a lot of similar traits with my father. And growing up with him, I have even acquired a lot of his better qualities and also his faults. We are a lot alike and yet our beliefs are very different, we even have different spiritual beliefs. I'm just glad that one of the few traits we share is open-mindedness.
However, I often envy the people who are very alike with their fathers and share the same interest. I think I'm missing out on some grand experience, but honestly, being different from each other is a little fun too, especially when it comes to conversations.
