​awesome quote

I'll have to disagree with the FIRST line....everyone's past DOES define them...to varying degrees.

so are you saying if for say you bully someone one time and live a life of regret and pray every night hoping that person forgave you 20 years later you would still be a bully

I will have to disagree with your disagree my past has not defined me to any degree

Not what I am saying at all.....  your past is a history FULL of various enriching/behaviour-modifying experiences and education which DO define who you are and how you act TODAY !

your past may define you 

but mine dont define me
