One's own personality is an amalgam of experiences, genetic programming, cultural bias, upbringing, and probably a host of other things.

Hell, after watching the television show M*A*S*H all through grade-school, I thought Alan Alda was the funniest man alive. I really believe that show heavily influenced my personality. I looked up to anyone who was quick-witted and irreverent. I certainly didn't know it at the time, but I began to imitate anyone who could influence people through humor and still felt great empathy for those who are suffering.


Certainly there must be far more things that shaped who I am to this point, and probably more things that will shape who I am in the future.
