Quote by Jeremy W. Hayward
To a very large extent men and women are a product of how they define themselves. As a result of a combination of innate ideas and the intimate influences of the culture and environment we grow up in, we come to have beliefs about the nature of being human. These beliefs penetrate to a very deep level of our psychosomatic systems, our minds and brains, our nervous systems, our endocrine systems, and even our blood and sinews. We act, speak, and think according to these deeply held beliefs and belief systems.
Summary
This quote asserts that men and women are largely shaped by the way they perceive and define themselves. Both innate thoughts and external factors such as cultural and environmental influences contribute to our beliefs about human nature. These beliefs become ingrained in our psychological and physiological frameworks, affecting our thoughts, actions, and speech. The quote suggests that our deeply held beliefs and belief systems manifest throughout our entire being, influencing our mind, brain, nervous system, and even our physical body. Ultimately, it highlights the significant impact our self-definition has on shaping our identities and determining our behaviors.
