Memories tend to make us who we are: agree or disagree?
If that was true then someone with short-term memory loss wouldn't have a personality or sense of self. Apart from genetic influences I believe that what has happened to us throughout our lives does influence who we are. But in a subconscious way. You don't need to remember your entire life to make a decision, however the decision is a product of everything that has happened to you in your life as well as any predetermined personality traits that you have inherited.

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

The child's memories fashion the adult's life.

Our greatest adult fears were created by childhood memories. Our greatest adult anxieties were produced by childhood memories. Our most negative adult views of ourselves are the product of childhood memories.

Our most important adult goals have their roots in childhood memories. Our most powerful adult drives have their roots in childhood memories. Our adult attitudes, adult perspectives, adult expectations, and adult view of life are all powerfully influenced by our childhood experiences and memories.
