Why 'I' Am Not You And You Are Not 'Me'.

Individual differences that make us what we are.


Each of us is different and unique. What makes us so? The secret is in our genetic inheritance and the learning that happens in our respective environments. Even though two children are placed in the same environment, they perceive it differently. You might find examples around you. Your siblings, incase you have any, will be completely differently from you. Thus, even when adequate material is available as our heriditary or innate capacities and environmental characteristics, there will be a wide range of individual differences. The pace at which each one will develope and express the changes will also vary. But there is a catch in the situation. Both genetic endowment and environment can over rule each other. A not so genetically endowed person might progress much when provided with a stimulating and well balanced environment, whereas a good genetic makeup might get overruled by  poor environment in which the child is growing. Hence, it becomes very important to provide our children with an enriching environment which gives them a feeling of peace and the understanding that every thing around them is in harmony with their organism.
