no we are conditioned to inmprove evolve become stronger until we age and then we detiriate. If you mean by accepting this fact that we are conditioned to accept then yes we are but if not i believe we are conditoned to accept that we are never goin to suppas any other man we can only progress as far as our evolution can allow us to in correspondunce to the technology we incorparate in to every day life. We can only change our lifestyle if we are prepared to adapt to different soroundings if not we are the preferbile sitting duck "we are jacks lunfoma, we get cancer jack dies"

At least in America, we're not conditioned completely to just settle with what we have. The whole "American dream" is to work hard to get something. Though most people like me are pretty lazy, having a good work ethic is still admired in our society.
But in some ways we are conditioned. I mean if every person was living a life that was like being in prison, and we didn't know there was anything better out there, we would all probably settle for the horrible life that we have. We kind of do that in our real lives because we only want the best life we know of which usually consists of having lots of money and people that love you. What if there is something better than that out there that none of us can grasp? It seems like too much of a reach to aspire to so we just accept and settle with what we have. Just to be thankful for the fact that we at least have something.

Are you familiar with Maslow's pyramid? Are you familiar with AA and AlAnon programs.
Life is a journey, and one learns before age 5 to accept some forms of behavior, but by 12 can choose which pathway to take. Many babies are born now with special gifts that will help them transform through the ugliness of some of what this world offers.
Many times two brothers will be brought up the same, yet one will be a millionaire, and one will be a maladjusted person who cannot quite make it. Do you think that is preordained or ordered before the birth? Or do these things happen because of the personality and character, genetics or some other cause.

yes we are conditioned to accept what life throws at us unless we have rather extraordnary parents and schooling....
either way whether conditioned or not we can completely change our lifestyle simply by deciding to do so and then making a plan of how to go about it and following that plan

I dont know so much about feeling as though, we have to change our lifestyles.. for what life throws at us... But, adjusting for certain changes, at times... it really depends upon what the situation is, and how willing & determined one is to make, or break that situation, for the better........ This isn't really a very thourough, question. So, I'm not saying "Yes", and I'm not saying no, either.. I do know, I will make arrangements, for change, if neccesary....But, avoid it if possible..

We are not conditioned to accept. Many people despise change and want to cling on to the old ways. We stick our feet in the dirty ground, hands crossed to our stomach, and only when we are yanked by the tears of our hair by someone else will we accept change. People like what's usual, customary, comfortable. They don't like the unknown that change throws at them.

yes, we are conditioned to accept, that's how we learn to roll with the punches and go with the flow. we can change our lifestyles and our perspectives so we see our own realities differently, but we can't buck everything. in either case, change is inevitable. change is gradual and either way we derrive wisdom and maturity from the events in our lives.

No. You just do it. There is no secret. You do it. People have done it and can do it. If it is because of others or many others are involved: YOU MUST MOVE.

If we were conditioned then art and science wouldn't exist.
