RE: Psychology Addict # 41 | Leaving the Past Behind
Hello there! @abigail-dantes
Recently followed you but never took the chance to leave a comment. I’ve read a couple of your articles so far and I am amazed at the detailed analysis of yours. I didn’t expect anything less actually!!
Nevertheless, we, human beings, are a little bit more complex than that. We are not just at the receiving end of what happens around us. Quite the contrary, humans actively shape the context in which they exist as a result of personal agency (with some thinkers going as far as to argue that even not making a choice is a choice)
I just couldn’t agree more with this. You see, people can always adapt to their environment and even though the way someone is raised or even the memories he may have, are usually the most important factors, as you said, there will always be an alternative.
Have a great day
Hello @mindtrap 😊
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read, comment and for reesteming this post.
That is correct, the alternatives are always the key in overcoming distress. Unfortunately they sometimes get clouded by our current circustances and personal history. However, the understanding that they are there is already a great step towards a clearer vision of what life can be :)
I wish you a wonderful weekend.
All the best.
