The human mind adjusts itself to a certain point of view. "Those who have regarded nature from one angle, during a portion of their life, can adopt new ideas only with difficulty." Adapting to circumstances is an important part of growing up. For example, when you're young, you might not understand why your parents don't want you to play outside at night or why you can't give your grandmother the money that she asks for. At that time, you might not be able to accept those things but as you grow older and more mature you learn how to adapt to situations like these.
