Use your imagination, just as when you're still a small child. Imagine your home as a palace, your simple meal as fine dining restaurants, and park near their favorite vacation spot. Imagine. Unconsciously, your thoughts are transformed in images physical components. If the media can indirectly influence simply reporting on what is happening around, imagine what impact people every day have on you. These are the people who are and are every day.
These are also the same people who are expressing their views of what is right and what is wrong. When we grow in a negative environment, we tend to acquire the traits and characteristics of people around us.
