Did you know that if you put a flea in a jar and put a lid on the jar, initially the flea will jump around and hit its head on the lid of the jar for a certain period of time until it learns the boundaries of the jar?

After a while, the fleas learn the limitations of where the lid is and you can remove the lid from the jar, but the flea will continue to jump at the adjusted height, and never jump out of the jar again because it's been conditioned by its environment. When the fleas reproduce, their offspring will follow their example.

In a lot of ways humans are like fleas, we start out young, confident, and full of dreams and aspirations. Along the way, our thinking conditions us to operate and live within the limitations of our environment and we begin to adjust to the limits others have set for us as if we're fleas in a jar.
