That’s a good point. You can’t plant a seed anywhere and expect it to blossom. The soil needs to be primed to accept the seed.
I’m in the middle of reading an article about how phones and social media are affecting the mental health of the youth. We all believe this to be a fact yet the scientific evidence actually does not support it. It’s easier to convince people that something’s true when they already feel like it should be true. Where “should be true” (or want to be true) comes from for each individual is something to consider.
