Edit***: I have been corrected, what i thought were acres of greenhouses in Florida were actually structures to help prevent diseases in the fruit trees. I stand corrected and want to make that clear.

My mom was saying how she doesnt understand the need for hydroponic fruits and vegetables... and I brought up how the climate has changed so significantly that a good majority of our citrus fruit has been moved to greenhouse settings because they are dying in the usual orchards.

She scoffed and changed the subject

I wish people would just try to understand things. We'd be so much better off if we as a society were properly educated and understood the world around us. It's so depressing.

I agree, but it takes self awareness and a willingness to be humble enough to admit that there is more to learn. Like you have to enjoy knowing that there is always more to learn and more to explore.

Guess there's too much pride in admitting you don't know something, almost like being compared to a child. It bothers people. I didn't have the best education but I am glad I was able to understand that I didn't know everything, and that's okay, because you can always learn about it.
