question...

can i pose a question?

do you think we are the way we are because we (whether consciously or unconsciously) choose or want to be, or do we have certain characteristics or traits that are just natural, inherent/innate?

idk if anyone will answer this, but i'd love to hear your answers
and this will probably get a lot of 'a little bit of both' responses, but i've been thinking about it a lot, flip-flopping between the two sides
it's weird how people can live with such different perspectives on life. well, it's not weird, but sometimes when i hear one of those inspirational maxims of wisdom on how to live or view life, i have to remind myself that one way of living doesn't work for everyone, and there are tons of those maxims expressing different viewpoints anyway.
people are different -- but then again, sometimes we're all the same. do you see where i'm trying to go with this?

in other news, i'm supposed to do some research on the legal plea for insanity and write about 500 words that are kind of in favor for it, but have no idea where to start - so if anyone knows anything, or knows anyone that knows anything, i'd appreciate some help in that area too.
