"If you treat an individual as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be." --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I believe in this reflection. The past creates a certain future that's intended to be. In counterfactual thinking, we people think about the "What If's" of this world and surprisingly, there are millions of alternative presents and futures of time. It always lies in the individual's personal responsibility and his/her attitude towards these situations.
Like, if you are a very strict parent not letting your children enjoy life as it should be and give him/her extreme punitive treatment even for the slightest attempt of disobedience. This person will have a very high chance of having a very introverted, anxious, fearful, egotistic personality suffering from trauma. S/He might not be able to socialize for this fear might be applied with other people.
This means that the past is the foundation of the present and the future. It is impossible to change the past (Only if you have an authentic time travel machine :) LOL) so, the only way for you to cope up with it, is to acknowledge and accept it as part of your life.
External force is social influence. Everyone can be influenced unless they are closed-minded, then they are immune to this influence.
I apologize for my unannounced short hiatus
