Are we WHO WE ARE based on Nature? (we were born that way?)
or...
Are we WHO WE ARE based on Nurture? (our environment and up-bringing made us who we are)
I actually think it is both... but I am curious to know, which one do you think has a GREATER influence on "Who We Are" ?

I think environment plays the biggest role in who we are. During those first 3 years of our lives, our personality has already been locked in, as to who we will become. On the other hand, I also believe that once is person is 18, that it's a cop out to blame genes, or environment on things we do, or don't do. There are exceptions for some. But I'm speaking about, on average.

I guess if we know who really GOD is; we know who we are.
