I believe that just about every aspect of ones personality is learned. There is a genetic defect, like the wrong number of chromosomes, which will cause people to become very aggressive, or testosterone levels, or in my case, Attention Defisit dissorder, making it hard forme to consentrate and always real wild and wierd, not being able to sit still. But other than the few exceptions, i believe that we all have the choise to be who we want to be, and all we do and know is learned.
And to what Asylum Escapee said. If you'd really like to know what 007 is talking about, with the last year, most of it has been poseted in the Expressing yourself thread. But on friday night, or saturday morning, we're no really sure, 007 had his car broken into, and some stuff was taken, but other than that, he had a lot of really bad sh*t happen to him over the last year.
And to what 007 said about him being optomistic, you are very much so. I have never met anyone who copuld go through as much crap as you did and act as if nothing happened. Still smiling and laughing. Making a joke about everything that hapens to you. That's really cool. The first thing you said after your cd's were stolen was, "Well, i didn't like those cd's too much anyway." You still found a way to laugh about it. Like, i thought i was like that, but nothing like what's happened to you has ever happened to me. So I have no idea how you are soooo optimistic.
So i can really see how your family and people who you are around a lot will make you not want to grow up or follow in others footsteps. And you seem to do an excelent job at it. So after being around you for so long, i know that nothing is learned through heredity, and that we are all who we decide to be, and we ourselfs make the choice of who we become in life, and how we react in our daily lives.
