RE: What Have You Been Exposed To? Contributed by @Olawalium
Bill Gate once said, "exposure from a young age to the realities of the world is a super-big thing ". Exposure is undoubtedly a great life changer. The kind of friends and media we expose ourselves to eventually influence the kinds of decisions we make in Life. I also used to think I had trust issues until I realized the decisions I make stem from the actions and activities of others that I have been exposed to. Exposure, in this case, can be synonymous to "Experience".
Perfect! Exposure and experience comes from the same root source, so liking one to another is never a mistake.
It's not that exposures or experiences are that bad, it is acting or reacting based on the wrong ones that is bad.
Naturally, we must learn something from our past, we should not just allow our past to ruin our present by building on the wrong part of our past...
You need to understand that it is not as easy as it sounds. How can the person know what is bad if that is the only reality they are used to? It takes the other person to make them see that and it has to be gradual. Both parties need to work; the one that needs to gradually work to change the mind set, and the one with the mindset that needs to be open and objective to judge based on what they see, rather than what they have been used to.
Absolutely. I really love this. Thanks a lot for this. Detailed.
