that's an interesting post [well it caught my eye]

I think everything that happens to a person changes them in some small way

and I think people can make a consistent effort to identify how they react, think and try change how they react [it's difficult]

it takes a long time to actually change that first impulsive reaction

there is a core person in us all, genetics? environment? a combination of both?

a shy child, no matter how parents prod them, is shy

an outgoing kid is just naturally that way

Thomas from feelies once told me if you want to predict how a person is going to react you can look back at how they reacted in the past - most people's behavior patterns don't change, they just continue

he was pretty right on

the realization that death is always closer than we think it is.
Some of us have known this all along. Maybe that's the difference. But it is going to get you anyway, so there is no use to cower before it; it will not go away because of that.
