not memories- experiences.

Interesting q and a on a forum :
http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/933119

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.
