U know there are many different things in life that shape the way with think about ourselves and the way we perceive the world. We form certain perceptions earlier in our lives that we adhere to for the rest of our lives, knowingly or unknowingly. All our pains and happiness depend upon what and how we develop them in the first quarter of our lives. If the rest of our lives conform to the way we thought , life is a bed of roses, else its a bed of thorns. Not exactly that extreme, but i believe for one to be truly happy these ideas are very important. Trying to change them is heresy, anything against them is unacceptable, and anything that contradicts our thoughts are difficult to digest or accept.
It has many implications in our life, it strives to make us stable and our responses predictable, after all what is intelligence but to predict, to be able to foresee. And our eternal quest to make things predictable and stable makes us the same. This is the reason why old people have problems with adapting to changes, its the reason why the first love is always the best because it shapes ones opinion, its the reason why the first language we learn is the one we speak in at the time when we are the weakest, its the reason why everyone in their hearts wants the "good old days" when they could tell what was good and what was not. In this day and age, the new generations are not fixed on places, are not troubled by changes in the way of working,... But even we have our nuances, the bits we don't want to change, the people we want to be, (the websites we don't want to be redesigned.. :-) ... ). Among many others... yes a lot has changed, but we are all still human, I guess staying human is the tough part after all.
