Hello everyone,
What does that mean to you ?

""Our deeds determine us as much as we determine our deeds""

This is kind of like what they say in the movie Batman Begins. "It's not who I am on the inside that (counts, is important, matters, etc... i forgot the exact phrase here). It's what I do that defines me." - Bruce Wayne / Batman

I think this is a fairly true statement. I for one know that I have always been conflicted about weather or not to do right, or wrong. (aren't we all?) I usually choose to do what is right, though that is not always what I want.

But I think it also goes deeper than that. It says "our deeds determine us". Could that mean that the actions we take can change us? A lot of people believe that if you can force a change in behavior, then that will in turn force a change in personality.
