Why is it difficult for us to notice the way in which our environment influences us?

Why is it difficult for us to notice the way in which our environment influences us?

[Ralitza]

Because we are part of it and are functioning on the same level as the other parts involved.

We muss change our perspective in order to see how we interact: go on vacation to see another culture, move to a different country, change our workplace, learn another language. See ourselves in new environments.

But it’s uncomfortable, so we tend to avoid it. It’s cosy and nice to be among those who think like me, because then I know that I am right :).

[Niki]

Because we have lost touch with our true self

[Innocent Mushiya]

Egocentric…

[kevin jackson]

Our ego is not in the business of revealing itself to us because it wants to remain in total control

[Ty Palodichuk]

Because I’m not conscious of myself when In social environments, that is until discovering kabbalah

[Attila]

Because it is all around us at all times and everywhere. It is the norm. There is nothing unusual about it so it doesn’t stand out.
