Are We All Born With The Same Personalities? - Comfort Pocket Variation 2

I haven't come up with nonsense in a while. Time to blab my way into your heads again. Here's a topic of the day: do you believe that we are all born good or evil? If you have anything to say then please don't hesitate to leave a comment below.



    I was observing a lot of babies recently. They are all over the place. They're at my friends' house, supermarkets, on the streets, on tv, and one living with me. There's a very important feature about them that struck me one day; they all look very similar.
    Sometimes I visit a client's house, take a look at their old family photos, and get a shock right up my head, "holy cow, isn't that my younger cousin in there?", but snap back to reality when I realize that my cousin is already grown up. I started to pay more attention to babies' faces wherever I go and I realize that all babies look pretty darn similar. So why?
    I checked up on old photos of myself, and my beautiful childhood, and realized that I look nothing like when I was little. All the friends' that visited also made the comment, "what the heck happened to your face?". Yes, I admit I may look much cuter when I was little, but the answer finally came to me. Other than the fact that I physically changed as I grew up, there's also one very important thing that changed in me. My personality, and my core mindset also changed. Sometimes I meet up with some friends that I haven't seen in a couple of years, and I see that their faces have changed along with their personalities. Growing bigger and stronger is one thing, but looking meaner or happier are something completely irrelevant to gene expression.
   As we grew up, we accumulate more comfort pockets that directs "what", and "how" we should do things in life, while silencing the "why" in our daily actions and behaviors. As we go on, our comfort pockets accumulate and dictates our attitudes and the way we express ourselves to the society we live in. This includes the face of course. Even though judging a book by it's cover is not the best thing to do in this world, but if you noticed that your friend's face has changed from "happy" to "sad" or "sad" to "happy" then something is definitely wrong. Obviously, it's not their fault (or your fault if your face has also gone through subtle changes), because comfort pockets can not be destroyed by ourselves (or we go insane as I discussed in my previous writings), so as comfort pocket arms reel in comfort pocket extensions to our current comfort pockets, we become more and more of what our backbone dictates us to do. Before we know it, in ten years, we are completely different people from what we were before.

   It's nobody's fault, but tragedies can happen because of these "sudden" changes. Our family might despise us. Our friends might leave us, Our life can be turned completely upside down. Clearly, if the changes were positive, then you'll be on the happy side, and everything will be fine. If you still feel a problem then it's time to surface out your comfort pockets and figure out what is going wrong in your life. Remember, comfort pockets can't be destroyed, but can be overlapped by something more powerful, so keep looking forward to your future.
