I disgree with your premise EvF. You are confusing thoughts with personality and you throw in some (in)determinism in the mix hoping you can make sense of it all.
So lets borrow some definitions from the most reliable source on the planet:
The way as I see it: the first, personality, is what defines the "I" as me. Your personality changes over time due to past experiences but as a whole the definition of what and who you are doesn't change that radically.
The thought process is what governs what actions we do based on the situation we find ourselves in and events we encounter.
So lets borrow some definitions from the most reliable source on the planet:
Wikipedia Wrote:Personality can be defined as a dynamic and organized set of characteristics possessed by a person that uniquely influences his or her cognitions, motivations, and behaviors in various situations.
Wikipedia Wrote:Thought and thinking are mental forms and processes, respectively ("thought" is both.) Thinking allows beings to model the world and to deal with it according to their objectives, plans, ends and desires. Words referring to similar concepts and processes include cognition, sentience, consciousness, idea, and imagination.(yes that was sarcasm)
