I've come to realize that everyone is a product of their environment, in both setting and the human body that your conciousness resides in. You might be saying, "duh, you big dumb idiot", but after REALLY absorbing the concept, I came to realize that people only ever do what they're "programmed" to do. Its really helped me exercise empathy and reduce my level of frustration towards the people I encounter as I go through life. It's also helped me be more introspective and suss out the origins of my own behaviors and ways of thinking.
