“Much of what we call personality is not a fixed set of traits, only coping mechanisms a person acquired in childhood.” -Gabor Maté


The age old debate of Nature vs Nurture. “I have always been <insert bad character trait>, it’s just who I am” is one of the laziest copes a person can adopt.

I’m rarely convinced nature is the root cause of someone’s flaws. Don’t send me scientific literature, or even worse your anecdotes. The reason for my belief is I only ever see nature leveraged as an excuse for someone’s shortcomings while being wielded as a sledge hammer against other’s successes.

A convenient pattern. Either God, Charles Darwin, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster hate you, or you’re much more moldable than you realize.
