To reason for ourselves

"I am" is a statement of fact, but then one has to ask the question, is the 'I' a true reflection of me as an individual ?
We are fashioned out of the genetic soup that started at the moment of conception, we were effected by the experience we had in the womb and even perhaps during the shock of child birth. Our environment when growing up was important but more important was our mental capacity to absorb what there was to learn. Whether we were susceptible or whether we were withdrawn from the effects of so much information, we were creating our own self image of who we were in relation the people around us.
The fabric of western society, or any society which is an artificially manipulated, will become part of our own manipulated sense of how we see life and how we try to position ourselves in terms of the artefact we call life and the living we do within it.
By far the majority of people unwaveringly accept life and the events that form their existence without much question. How can one complain about who we have become without first attempting to recognise who we are as an individual.
If we see ourselves as a crowd, one of many, its no wonder we absorb the values of the crowd. Our innate ability to reason and find our own platform to cope with events is damaged if we don't take the time or make the effort to reason for ourselves.
