It is a choice each and every time, thus the sometimes, often, etc. qualifiers. People can and do make different choices, and if they can stick with the same choices long enough (like not smoking for me) then you that choice becomes easy and thus habitual (like me now being thoroughly a non-smoker -- I never even think about it -- except interestingly sometimes I smoke in my dreams and I always wake up freaked out by it, thinking I have to quit all over again which I DO NOT want to do because it was HARD!).<BR/><BR/>But changing from a non-smoker to a smoker to a non-smoker is not a change of who I fundamentally AM.<BR/><BR/>Also, while I might think we don't change who it is we fundamentally are, our range of how to express ourselves if pretty wide. I am fundamentally paranoid BUT I can choose to listen to that more or less. Etc.<BR/><BR/>Anyway . . .CGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542303804886924280noreply@blogger.com
