mykingdomforanam: I clicked on your thread to say, I've changed a lot; but then I noticed what you said about our personality being established by the time we're 5...
I went from being a workaholic, to going over 4 and a 1/2 years without using any money at all.
I went from being a fast talking city boy, to being a quiet man who lives so far from a town, that I sometimes fall asleep in the middle of the road I live on while stargazing; and nobody ever woke me up from sleeping on my road.
But, as far as my basic personality: my Mom told me she knew when I was 5, I'd never be a 9-5er; and I'd never get married; and she was right.
It proves the point that mothers always know best!! How did u manage 4 1/2 years without Money... Also u can stargaze from the comfort of ur home looking out ur window. Why the middle of the road???
As a small child I was a watcher and a thinker. I would see things I thought were hypocritical, contradictory, illogical, non-sensical (but, hey, I went to a Catholic school.) Despite a child's tendency to internalise, I would sometimes, or perhaps often think that adults were basically unhinged. For the most part I was too shy to say anything, or challenge the stuff I saw going on around me.
I'm still fundamentally shy, but I have personally developed since then. I'm still an observer and thinker. I still see contradictory, illogical and non-sensical things.
The difference is, I now open my gob and let it all fall out.
The result is I've become a bit militant in an area of my life. I've surprised myself. I've grown and changed a lot.
But the potential has always been there. The seeds were sown a long time ago.
We do change. I'm a great advocate of change. But we also stay the same. These things aren't mutually exclusive.
