When we are mad we might show signs of an animal.\n\nWhen we are happy we might be kind to everyone.\n\nSo can every  human have a  certain personality ? Isn't it time dependent ?

there are difference between how you can control over your feeling and  wether you can trust to your feeling ?\nthere are many people who are able to control over their behavior and emotions even they got mad on sth  or when they are happy \nbut in the same time they might trust to their other feeling\npersonality is inseparable of feeling

Point taken and understood,but a life is a life.Wouldn't you want someone to think of you when you are gone?Once again, it goes back to human emotion.Even some animals show emotion.

Human nature as a result from evolution suggests that we learn too quickly. Sometimes it maybe a survival techinque to categories things into threats and non threats. Yes it sucks that humans are like this, but when your life is at stake, people tend to act differently.

Yes.  I think that the animals were here first, and just because their brains aren't as developed doesn't mean they don't have feelings.  Animals have every right to be here, if not more.

Firstly, it is the innate personality (what some might call a "soul") we have even before conception which truly defines us as a being.  Secondly, its a combination of complicated reprogrammed hereditary traits (genetics) passed down to you from your parents, and finally, the environment in which we live influences our lives via our parents, friends and media we encounter.

We're drawn to certain types of people for many reasons. Our preferences are largely programmed into us at an early age and are often determined by our early family life. Also, we find ourselves going back to the same assholes over and over again until we learn our individual lesson - i.e. don't get involved with the same types of assholes over and over again.

It's clear that humans and animals (especially those close to us in the evolutionary tree), share similar chemical responses in their brain when faced with highly emotional situations.  Whether it be fear, contentment, mating urges, we have a lot of analogous mechanisms going on.  On this basis alone, there is a pretty strong argument that animals have feelings.\nOne possible counter-argument, however, is based on the definition that for certain chemical responses to be called feelings, that the being in question needs to have a conscious awareness of their state.  With this defition, it becomes much harder to say whether animals experience feelings in the same conscious manner even though the neurochemical signatures are similar.\nMy opinion is that this definition based on conscious understanding is a little specious, as it's based on an ongoing desire by some to try to define humans out of the context of the natural world... and to claim that we are categorically better than the other animals.  \nIf the neurochemical basis for consciousness is ever discovered we'll be able to quickly check which animals have this, and I suspect we'll find that many are conscious.  If this is so, then their feelings will be as real as human ones in all senses.

Everyone just wants to be happy.  Set your mood every morning when you wake up.  Every day, you can choose to wake up and say 'this will be the best day of my life', or it can be the same old, same old.  We make life what we want it to be.  \n\nI believe that we control our own mood and how we react to things.  If things don't go your way, you can sit and brood for an hour or two, or you can move on and be glad that it's over.  \n\nIf I get angry, it's usually only for a short period of time.  Life is too short to always be mad at something or someone.  You just have to teach yourself not to worry or care too much about things that are out of your control.  It takes time, so be patient.

People possess many good characteristcs or traits, such as being trustworthy and attentive to your needs.\n\nIf the words can't be changed, let me know. I'll ajust my answer. You didn't specify.

No. I don't expect everyone to be like me! That would be very disastrous and boring! Imagine to be in a room where conversation would be the same, gestures, jokes, puns, etc will be the same. That would be very boring!\n\nTo wish everyone to be like ourselves is nihilistic, fatalistic, if not dictatorial.\n\nAll men are created equal: the same functional parts, the same amount of time, etc.  However, we must always respect individual rights and privacy.  And besides individual differences makes this world a more challenging and better place to live in.\n\nSo cheer up.  don't take it againts yourself or other people. Just take life easily with a few strides at a time.  Remember true contentment or true happiness is experienced only when you make someone truly contented and happy; thereby you reap the greatest of rewards - being happy by making somebody happy.

We all have various personalities that we present to the public based on what we are doing, who we are impressing... yet, this is still "who we are."  That core personality that we carry within us, that tells us what is right or wrong... is never going to change.  However, it's expression grows and changes on a daily basis as we all continue to grow and mature.  For some of us, being more mature actually means we are having more fun!  For certain my ability to communicate is much more pronounced than it was when I was 21.  Or 49, or yesterday for that matter.     \n     For me personally, my attitude when I was a young employee was a "eager to please" person.  At the end of my career I was a "sour old germudgen."   Honestly, I use parts of my personality for various reasons.  The truth is, for the most part, inside of myself I see myself as a kindly teacher, a mischief maker, and a sweet old Irish peace-maker who has a bottle of whiskey hidden somewhere in the room with a pocket of tobacco always ready for a fine smoke... should someone need a moment to talk or just want to sit in the sun with me for a bit.  \n     Being "who" we are is a myth.  Our personalities grow throughout our lives, we learn daily and adjust daily to life around us.  Don't misunderstand, there are days when I have to dig deep within myself and find my own core.  What that core has become is a result of years of living, making decisions, enjoying life and just reacting day to day to life around me.  Like a lump of coal that gets transmutted into a diamond due to years and years of pressure on it, our personalities are the same.  Hell, imagine listening to Howard Stern or Pat Robertson every day and then try to image that it doesn't change your personality. \n     We all understand we present to the world a unique personna because we need a paycheck, regardless of what we personally feel.  It would be best if that personna was congruient with who we are as people, but that is not always possible.  We present the personna that keeps our paycheck coming in.  This is a lesson of life we all learn.  It's how we keep our jobs. \n     I find that after I retired, my joyful positive side became it's best.  I really now enjoy telling people to screw off, get frucked, or back away more often than I did before.  I'm less kindly now that I am retired.  But, I wish I had been where I am today those many years ago, for certainly I'm glad to be me and wouldn't have it any other way.\n     Wanna go play?  I'll go get my cane.  If that's too stimulating for you I'll grab the whiskey and my bone pipe, we'll sit in the sun and have a smoke, listen to the neighbors yelling at their kids, the Mexican-cowboy-Polks music from next door, the dogs barking, kids laughing, the sirens in the distance, the TV's blaring and deeply breath in the calming smog of the local environment.  \n     Ah life, aint' it grand!  My friend, I am laughing with you!

Yes.  All animals have feelings, they aren't as strong or  prominate as humans but they feel some emotions.  For example cats.  When I was a kid we had two cats named precious and rocky.  And everday when I left for school they would stand with me until the bus came.  Then when I would come home they would be waiting for me.  Other evidence:\n\n-Elephants bury the bones of deceased\n-They adopt abandoned baby elephants after their mothers die\n-Cats nuture each other, I've seen our cats clean eachother\n-Dogs are loyal and have saved others lives

I think many people do feel that their heart is an indicator of emotions like joy, fear, love, anticipation, gloom, etc. And certainly medicine has found a correlation between long-term stress and heart condition. How the heart detects these conditions, what form its responses take (rate, volume, pressure?), and how we perceive those responses sound like interesting fields of inquiry which some biologists are investigating. See the refs.

Maybe we are drawn to a profession because people already in it have the personality qualities that we admire?!  I think every experience in our lives helps shape who we are, but cannot dictate our personality. x

There's a good majority, Mixed with the created hormonal emotions from the processed food we eat, of humans that  define their reality in pain and suffering. They can't ever be happy. And their thoughts and Ideas, which are quite subjective, of what a perfect world should be, is always wanting to be put into effect. Like Hitler. His perfect world consisted of only blonde-haired blue-eyed germans. He was also beaten severly as a child, and i'm guessing a bit repressed. There are a lot of factors that go into it. Fear leads to anger. anger leads to hate. hate to suffering. It's true. Perphaps the key to fear is reverse paranoia. Instead of everyone expecting everyone to do wrong unto them, perhaps if they expected only the best from them. It's my personal experience that thoughts, whatever they may be, good or bad in perception, that they'll come to life and be seen most by the mind of that who thinks most about it. Your brain has a way of blocking out things it sees regularly from your memory. Only things that are of perceived importance, (things being thought of often) stay in memory, or in notice, on sight. Awareness is created by change. Things that are normal occurances always blend in. Therefore if you make a note of thinking most of good positive things, you'll find that you'll become a good positive person in essence. Likewise if you define your reality through narrowminded beliefs and generalizations, and only feel reality though existance in pain, always paranoid around those whom you don't know personally, then yes, you'll become old from the stress, twisted, maladjusted, and another force generating more negative energy for the world to pick up. Good begets good. Evil begets evil. If the world is to have full and thorough peace within it. There's going to have to be a LOT of accepting going on. Personally, I don't believe that'd be very possible due to the very natures of certain personalities. I believe everything must balance. There is no all good or all evil. Good wouldn't be good without evil. People cannot live without killing and consuming another live being or object. Whether it be plant or animal, the world was destined to always have some form of evil or another in it. I believe it's just the balance of society and of the universe. Otherwise, it'd just be our ego's driven by emotions telling us that death and dying and killing is bad or wrong. Our emotions tell us that, but universally, you'll notice the universe completely indifferent to all emotion. Perphaps just a mechanism to keep us alive, just like lust is a mechanism to keep us reproducing. If it wasn't for our minds ability to believe anything and to perceive purpose, i think we'd all go insane for being like puppets in the grand scale scheme of things, being strong along by our emotions and feelings towards certain things, embedded in our genetics and brains to make it all but most difficult to do anything but what the brains automated reaction had in mind. All in all, stepping out of human persona, and perception of derived purpose, in the grand scheme of things, without human aspect of good or evil, one could possibly say everything is perfect as is. But somewhere somehow, perphaps this is just a good form of entertainment to another entity larger than ourselves, or perphaps our perceptions. The beat goes on da-da-doom-da-doom-da-da. It's going to continue whether we like it or not, so we may as well know our roles and shut our mouths. That's my 2 cents.

Obviously we can't help everyone.  I believe that God puts certain people in our paths that we are meant to help.  When we recognize these people, we do whatever we can for them within our means.  \n\nAside from that, smiles never hurt.
