I am a product of the environment, and remembered the dialogue of Jack Nicholson in Departed, “I don’t want to be a product of my environment, I want my Environment to be a Product of me. “ This surely has its implications in life. They say you can be a revolutionary if you were to follow the thought, having seen the movie understanding the end well I guess I wouldn’t want to think like my friend there who gets popped by his own mole.
I think we don’t realize but we are a product of our environments, how much so ever we may deny; it’s a fact. Hippocratic (I needed help for this from Word 2007, long live Billy G) thinking might be a reason for that; a several resource studies later I conclude that we are no different than the 3rd Reich. Atleast the time, what made him the way he was. The rise of Hitler is what I am referring to. Having to work for peanuts learning that Weimar was pushing the Germans further in trough and signing the treaty, it had to come from the iron hearted man.
Similarly, we aint any different, or are we? Have we made our choices according to our free will or the fact that the situation demanded you to do that? I am sure you find my view very much myopic. But is it? I think we need to delve further into the life of the man in spotlight here. Comparing his situation with our own, does it send a message, it probably does. I have grown to be the person that I am today because I adapt to a situation, what was wrong in him doing so. His methods are questionable I know but the motive is what we need to realize, is of prime importance.
