I can go with that. Integrated into that personality is the cause and effect of every event that affects us throughout a lifetime. Though many a personality, my own certainly no exception, bares the scars and deleterious effects caused by some of the least pleasant of those events, it also bares witness to the joys and beauty of many other events as well, and the hope that comes from them. It is nice to think that it is not all for naught, and somewhere in that jumbled model of me there is some wisdom budding that may yet bare fruit.
