>I'm all about free will. Accept accolades, but take responsibility by the same token. I do pretty much what I want, within the confines of responsibilities anyway. So, you feel that someone can change their personality, if they choose to? I know that I have changed my actions in different circumstances, but I'm not sure I have actually changed the way I think. The core of who I am. I'm not sure if it's possible after a certain point to do so. Maybe exceptional experience could do that. To some, those experience may be very different. Religion. Loss of a child. Winning a lottery. But can you do it simply by free will alone? Can you turn around essentially who you are simply by wanting to do it?
I think it is possible to change the personality, which is not the same as saying it is easy to do so. However, I have no proof for this claim.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
