You have no idea; your hope is vain and foolish. The brain is an organ
like any other, and damaging just a small part of it can result in
losing any mental or emotional capacity you can name.

IME, people usually do not change their nature and the abberation isn't
general. OTOH, if finding out that some one was a closet arsehole comes
as a shock to some people. Unfortnately, most people do not truely listen
to someone and determine that nature before the damaging event.

Our experiences differ. It's tempting to believe that there is some
sort of magic that makes our personalities, but I believe it's just
meat.
