Human Character

Character is the expression of the personality of a human being, and that it reveals itself in his conduct. In this sense every man has a character

I’ve always been wondering whether human character is born, or its a matter of brought up, or friends surrounding us…

If the quote above is right, such that character is the expression of the personality of a human being, then I guess what I’ve always choose to believe is wrong… We can never mould someone to be the person we want them to be…

I believe a person’s character is both. The result of who God made you to be and your upbringing/environment, especially in your formative years of youth. I once heard from someone that character is 30% nature and 70% nurture. It cannot be entirely nature because then we can just throw moral education completely out of the window. A child picks up much of what he/she knows from people of influence who spend the most time with him/her. We can’t change a person, because they’re not ours to change in the first place. But it does not mean that they can’t change. It just takes effort on their part and they must make the choice to change.We can never change a person that we want them to be, we had to accept who they are and direct them to the correct path is enough already isnt it ???
