If our personality is just a combination of our experiences and genes, does that mean we have no control over who we REALLY are?

We always make our own choices. Sometimes we make choices that defy our past, sometimes we take our past as a lesson to learn from, in the end it is always a matter of choice. Some choices are more difficult than others, but it is ultimately up to you to decide what you are willing to do. We can make excuses or try to explain the world or both, but defining a thing as something does not make it so. "An apple is an apple by any other name." But I also say that an apple is an apple, whether it be green or red, fresh or dried, underripe or overripe - unlike an apple though, people can choose to change as long as it means enough to them.

To an extent, we control our experiences.

The simultaneous influence of hereditary and environmental factors give rise to and determine personality. Therefore, personality is conquered, it is made, it is built. Therefore, personality is the internal cause underlying the individual behaviour (temperament) and the experience of the person (character). However, I don't think that the word "control" is the right word because there are still gaps in what exactly personality is. Many opinions are true, which may or may not be true. However, we still suffer from gaps and uncertainty about certain aspects of our existence......

Your personality type is your nature, your experience your nurture. This is who you really are

KFC, for humans?
What would the KFC for cannibals be? Some things to consider: Cannabalism is okay. In this scenerio. Totally. No bad ideas, Because the general public can always overthink details, given any name. For example, the KFM option could be criticized for having a 'sexist name.' Preferably sticking... read more

Scrolling.
Have not scrolled through my followings for a long time. I was feeling that the feed was a bit odd, seemingly uncharacteristic of my interests, until I got to one post that made me question my sanity, since I am sure as heck I had not followed it. I was on Explore. Mind. Absent. Welp, let me go... read more

Ill never understand why some people. . .will think it's cool that they have no life skills. . .and must therefore over rely on the systems of inequality to provide everything for them. . .as if they are still children.
