Relationships are interwined in our lives and likewise, our lives are interwined in our relationships. To a large extent as well, these relationships shape and form our lives. It can even be said that these exposures literally make us, well us.
If the notion that we are what our environment and surroundings mould us to be. Then in that case, it should be reasonable to say our environment confines our growth within this imaginary box, and with each passing moment, that box inches inwards to us. This being said, we are actually predetermined creatures of an uncontrollable fate, or is it?
Is it possible that we can control our environment, given the current state of technology and perhaps, future speculations of possiblities? Given presently, we are, to some extent, able to control the comfortability and safety of our environment and given that, we can directly control the impact of natural disasters and lifestyle conditions. If then, we are also able to control the relationships and bonds we form, does that not suggest we can actually predetermine how an individual will grow up to be?
Consider this case, given that I control the company of this individual to ONLY meet people who are docile in nature, chances are this individual will definitely cultivate characteristics either similar or identical to his/her companions.
Think about this, you and I could have been pieces of a big masterplan we are unable to conceive.
