In 2'nd grade I got a staff infection in one ear and had to avoid any contact with cold air. I spent recess all winter in the classroom reading encyclopedias.
Then I would go home each day and challenge my Mom to answer questions about that which I had read that day. Mom got more than a bit frustrated with me at times.
That probably had great influence on my later perspectives.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
