Dear Soupe du jour,

What a great thread.

It would be almost impossible for me to say what category I fit into since I remember having moments of strength, weakness, courage, daring, fear, outgoing behavior, shyness, cleverness, foolishness, care , carelessness, ambition, laziness, kind heartedness, mean spiritedness, generosity , stinginess, humility, pride, empathy, coldness, sensitivity, insensitivity, politeness, rudeness, honesty, deceitfulness, fun-lovingness, un-fun-lovingness, tolerance, intolerance, calmness, agitation, anger, peacefulness, competitiveness, cooperation-ness.

I don't have any insight in how all these moments made me the "kind" of person I am. I lack such insight now as an adult and I think I had even less insight when I was young. I guess an Infinite Being could say what "kind" of a child I was but I don't really know.

Hopefully you will get many responses to you post. I will be looking forward to reading what others post.

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen
