Culture

Most of what people call personality is culture they never chose. It decides how close to stand, when to stay quiet, and what counts as rude, long before anyone explains why.

We observe those rules where we live and travel, and compare places without ranking them. The question is never which culture is better. It is what each one trains people to notice, and what it trains them to ignore.

The rules nobody explains

Every place runs on codes locals absorbed and outsiders have to decode.
