What you're describing elludes to people becoming a product of their environment in that
what they're taught somehow influences
who they are in as much as how they view the world.
You further conclude that this must be flawed, because
what we're taught might not necessarily be the
truth.
Am I right so far?
If so - I couldn't agree with you more. We are a product of how we choose to experience everything that happens external to us. Our viewpoints and values that ultimately make us
who we are should come from within, not from those of popular opinion or society in general.
Nothing means
anything except the value
you ascribe to it. In the end, that is
all that matters.
