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

[Rodrigo Tavares]

It is difficult for us to notice how our environment influences us because we are so far sidetracked from investing in positive social relationships by the cultural waters that surround us.

We are exposed to hundreds or even thousands of ads a day that create norms and dictate that you should be status-obsessed, narcissistic, compulsive consumerists, and materialists.

In this way, some values, not always the most correct ones, over time, invade our minds, below the threshold of our consciousness without realizing it.

Because we are most of our time thinking out me, Just turn it around from  ME TO WE.

The human ego is totally blown up. No one knows what to do or is capable of actual recognition of it. It’s a dead end.

[KatieBug]

Ego and the incorrect perception of reality and others around us. We are closed off in our own little personal black boxes and most do not see what’s outside of that box until they start asking the deeper questions of life and existance.

[Philomeen van der Heijden]

because we are not concious of the totallity and one-ness , but we are too much involved with our little personality

[Larry]

Herd mentality!
