To provide all that information would be quite a chore. But suppose the questioner was still curious and asked, "How did you get the way you are?" If your patience were not yet exhausted, chances are you'd answer something like this:"I'm this way because I choose to be , because I've considered other sentiments and preferences and attitudes and have made my selections.
The ones I have chosen fit my style and personality best." That answer is natural enough, and in part it's true. But in a larger sense, it's not true. The impact of the world on all of us is much greater than most of us realize.
