Ah to laugh early in the morning!!!! Especially when you re-read my thread and realise for the first time there is a spell check here!!! And i should use it, lol.... And then you add, "the sky is falling by well, - fallen" Sorry ....
Yes the horoscope thing.... Given that a Gemini is "2" people, and i appreciate, ANON, it is my "brain" doing the double take, but yep, that would be me. Given that my ex-fiance and ex-husband and i were not compatible it is fair to say that you steer clear of the same star sign, lol... But i truly get along with most people, just Libras that i have met and i seem to get on in the "mind", as well more so than other signs.....

FALLEN1.
I have often wondered though how much of a persons character is pre-determined at the very beginnings of their life, when the sperm meets the egg, and how much is determined by the parenting they receive and their environment. In other words how different would I be if I had been raised across the waters with some of you? How different would I be if my mom and dad hadn't been so protective?

If you were raised in Australia, verses America, i don't know.... I still had to stand up to myself at school but i think as a child it may have been a much quieter up-bringing, especially South Australia as it is more like a Country Town... And i'm not quiet? I definately can re-late to protective, perhaps over protective, like sit in that chair whilst i coach basketball so i can see where you are at 14? Gee... Wrapped in cotton wool i used to say but then i left at 16, i needed to be FREE and ME! Having said that, the morals i was bought up on, at least didn't lead me astray on the streets and i turned out ok! "That's my opinion and i am allowed to say it!!! " But as for personality? Well it did make me very strong. For instance, if i fell, i would get "get up" not oh come her love, let me cuddle you, but yet i am an extremely affectionate person in nature, so the opposite... I only had one brother and no girls in my street or near by, bit of a tom boy, maybe that played a part as well in strength, who knows, yet i am very feminine, extremely.

Horoscopes are just the art of bull-poo. Talking in a vague roundabout way that covers all situations.. Because people want to believe in them, they'll find a way to distort their personality to make it true. Just like people do with religion - they want to believe it so they won't analyse the bits that don't make sense, etc.

I do agree with people being obssessed absolutely and moulding themselves around it or a belief in general, like tarot cards, palm reading, she said so this will happen.
And parenting definately plays a part but in "character building"? Maybe more so, how you see the world and people in it....

You take a lot of traits straight from your parents, whether you want to or not - for example my girlfriend hates her mum, and will be complaining about a character trait she has and how she'd never be like that, even though she is incapable of seeing it in herself.

That i can relate to absolutely. My mother had very little, still does, patience and i have had to really change that in me over the years... But then i also know that lots of people will say " well, i will not bring my child up like that" and aim at doing things differently to anything they did not agree to when they were children, with their children... Or physcologically, having the same make up and beliefs as dear dad did who went to gaol and son followed suit, seems to be an often occurance.
Social interaction i think "builds again character" or destroys it and of course, character is part of your personality, make - up...
I wrote something the other day, and then the next day, i made a small joke about it, and was then replied to with lol, pertaining to that's my make-up intense and i thought, well yes, it is... My cup has to be full, not half full, or half empty.......And, if i think about it, that's because of all i want, i'm hungry for life, learning, succeeding, loving, everything.... I think my family are only simular on the succeeding front with businesses and never give up and our love is kind of a strange family love, we certainly do, but we certainly all speak our minds now... Funny really.
And as i said, i had a brother, 2 years older, "shot me with a slug gun" in the leg, little....... lol, always caught me out being naughty and threated to dob unless i did the dishes, that was funny because my Mother would know who's turn it was so busted each time.... But he and i are great mates... But yes, i to sat in the peace zone, as there was no one else around just him......
