Re: Your Personality-Not Really Yours?

Quote:
ent personality be it kind, smug, arrogant, uptight, cold, or just assholic. However, where do we get them from? Yes I know genetics plays a part, but I believe that it pales in comparison to the influence your enviroment has on it. In fact I believe that your personality is just a collection of your freind's and family's personalities. This is how cultures are formed. The influence of others makes you, you.
That's really interesting. You say that we're formed off those around us, and they shape who we are. The only way for you to be YOU is to bring you up in a... Utopian plain box, and even then the box will shape you.

But if what you're saying is accurate is that we cannot be unkind to anyone on account of what they are because we shaped them -- the idea of separate entities is useless because we were all shaped by each other.
