"original sin"

Is that the same or different to "inheriting the sins of the father"? Because I can understand that.

For example, my father's father used to beat him as a child, and my father sometimes beat my elder brother, even though it wasn't his true nature - but when people are put under a lot of stress and pressure they tend towards the things they learnt as a child, regardless of their 'conscious' wishes.

I've also read that abused children often go on to be abusers themselves. Same thing.

That's how I see it anyway.
