| Mr.Ashtear said: I agree with the op: the personality is developed throughtlifes experiences and the immediate culture that surrounds the individual. I disagree, though, in the perception that a personality is fixed and unchangable. Also, I agree with the idea that the personality is not like a foreign entity over which our conciousness observes, we ARE our personality. I have always perceived this argument against free will as an agressive response to religious broken morality, rather than a well thought reality. A rational mind always has options and goes further to the better of them, it has nothing to do with the emotionality of ones personality. |
Yup, pretty much what I think. Though I'm interested in the bolded. I actually sort of feel the same way, but I just couldn't think of a reason for it. Like if two different people went through the exact same lives, why would person A do this instead of what person B did? I didn't want to mention anything I couldn't explain so I left it out.
