Most people would appreciate the
flexibility of this message, I think; few
of us had problem-free childhoods.
But there’s another kind of flexibility
that we all hope applies to the question
of who we are and what we become.
We want the freedom to map our own
destinies. We want to preserve the advantageous
aspects of our temperaments
and improve, or even discard,
the ones we dislike—such as a horror of
public speaking. In addition to our inborn
temperaments, beyond the luck of
the draw of our childhood experience,
we want to believe that we—as
adults—can shape our selves and make
what we will of our lives.
Can we?
