The world needs a lot more people who act in compassion not in hate. I agree, most things in life are “both/and” I am glad you were slanted towards compassion.

It’s not “either/or”, it’s “both/and”.

Lindsey, I don't discount life experience completely because what we experience can mold us, but I agree that we are who we are from birth. Even new borns have personalities, my two boys were completely different from the first day home from the hospital. Hi all, thanks for stopping by.

People are far more than a sum of their experiences. After all, doesn't a baby who has done nothing in their life but sleep and poop and eat have an individual personality, a personhood? So our personhood is not because of our experiences, but the way we were made in the womb. @<b>queerunity</b>: That's it! I was abused by a man, I ought to be gay! But my daddy issues are keeping me straight. :( *lol* wv: great, great post. People are far more than a sum of their experiences.
