RE: The Effects Of Pollution On Human's Life, Agriculture and The Economy Of A Nation
So very true! I think it is because we usually build more learning and habits over certain things, so to unlearn requires dismantling a whole set of connections that can run quite deep and far. Not only that, I think it is also quite scary to think that something you believed was right and true is now no longer valid. The latter, in my opinion, is the hardest. If all your life you were told to drink a glass of orange juice a day because it was good for you, and you believed it so you did it. You believed it so much you even taught others to do it. Then someone comes and tells you that the orange juice is what is causing some strange problem you have. Even if you believe the person, it would be hard to change because not only do you have to admit that you hurt yourself all these years--even if you didn't know it--but you also have to admit to everyone else that you were wrong in getting them to do it. This is why yelling at people and thinking they are stupid for not changing doesn't help, because we never know what someone is going through. We need compassion and understanding in order to help someone see that just because you were wrong, does not mean you are a bad person.
