When we are young our culture and our parents mould our behaviour based on their ideals. If we spend our life living as a big fish in a small pond we find little to challenge our pre-formed ideas. These ideals may have served us well when we were young but as we grow and cultures evolve these opinions become outdated and some may even restrict us, stunting our grown to a time long since past.
When we venture out into the world at large and become a small fish, in a big pond our senses are assaulted by new ideas, way, cultures and dreams. We have a much wider view of reality, opening up to new horizons which until experienced we do not know exist.
