If i'm not a product of my environment,
what defines who I am?
Exactly.
Precisely.
I do not know.
What am I,
without environment?
A matter of circumstance?
Without a ball,
how can I play ball?
Just kicking stones across the landscapes.
Without a concept of the Ocean,
how can I understand the notion?
I only believe in what I see.
I speak English, as my mother tongue -
because I was taught from being born.
If I was born in India, I'd speak Indian,
maybe English too.
Surely this makes me a product of the environment.
How can I know of TV,
but a tribe member knows only of a spear.
What were exposed to is defined by our environment.
Tell me i'm wrong.
Tell me about predestination.
Tell me about the soul if you wish.
I think you missed the point.
If I was born in a cell, I would know only the cell.
I known what I'm shown and that much I can tell,
that i'm surely nothing more than a product of the environment.
Or maybe,
just maybe,
the environment is a product of me too?
