A topic which is I guess too Deep for me to write on. Honestly, it took me couple of seconds to understand it first. 😂
Here's my take on this.
I think What We are is a reflection of too many things around us. There are many factors which shapes us as in What We are. Few of them which I've personally seen or noticied are as follows -
1. Personal Experiences
2. Unhealed Childhood Traumas
3. The people you hangout with
4. Your Mentors
I think these factors play a major role in What We are the way We are.
1. Talking about Personal Experiences, I think everyone who has a certain opinion on a certain topic is because he/she might have seen something or Experienced something like that before. Everyone's has their own reason of being like way they are. Often we are too quickly to judge people based on their opinions without even knowing their Why. But I think this should be considered. Unless and until you don't know the backstory of anything you can't predict or say it is right or wrong. Personal experiences play a major role in What We are at present. What We are is a product of our Personal experiences.
2. Childhood Traumas
So common these days. They are certain undersirable things that happens to children and they are not even able to explain What has happened. It not their fault at all. Our society still somewhere is conservative. If you open up 70% chance is there you'll be supressed. Still there is alot of stigma around Mental Health. Be it anything people are just not ready to accept that they are facing an issue with their Mental Health. This can contribute to What you are as a person. Some people tend to become reserved due to these unhealed Childhood traumas and might get bitter.
3. The people you hangout with
The people you hangout with have a major impact on your Mental and Physical Health. The people good for you can make you feel better about yourself too. And sometimes you just feel emotionally and physically exhausted after hanging out with certain people. This is the sign you shouldn't ignore. This thing also shapes your opinions and hence also mould you as a person as well. Hence choose your circle wisely.
4. Your Mentors
At times we need certain people to guide us. Regardless of age, experience, etc We need sometimes 3rd eye view or 3rd perspective. Mentors do shape us how We are as a Person.
So, well according to my understanding as a whole of this topic Why We are What We are - I think these are the major factors which have impact on us as a person.
