Success is doing something that makes you happy on the inside.

Culture by far determines who we are, think of all the "idols" of today that couldn't have stood a chance against their predecessors

I think that everyone has something they can do to help the world, even if only in a small way. I don't know if I would say that we have a set "purpose" though

Happiness comes to us, but we have to set it up, I think. Whenever something good happens to us, it is because we created the opportunity for it to come

Yes, I can recall a distinct memory of happiness

For me to consider something tragic, it would have to be a devastating occurrence.

I want the world to be an open place, a place where I can set my mind to something and do it, not be held back by things that I cannot control

I don't really have an answer to the last one. Sorry.

1. How do you define success?

Evidently, completely opposite from all of the money-chasers out there. Monetary success means nothing...at least, to me.

2. What determines who we become? Biology or Culture?

Both. Biological in the sense of your sex...physical disposition, that sort of thing. But your attitude is probably partially biological and then a combination of culture, I think. I guess it's always a mix of both.

3. Do you feel you have a purpose in life? If so, what do you feel your purpose is?

My purpose has yet to be revealed to me.

4. Is happiness something we create, or does it find us?

I think it's both. Mostly you create it, though.

5. Can you describe one distinct moment of happiness?

Watching my father put up the Christmas tree when I was young.

6. Do you think being reclusive is natural (something some are just born with) or is it developed over the years?

I think it's natural to some, but it can also probably be caused by life events.

7. What makes something "tragic" opposed to just "sad"?

Tragic is when someone dies before they are out of high school. Sad is when someone drops out of high school right before they graduate.

8. When you graduated from high school, what did you want out of life?

To find something that made me feel worthwhile

9. Do you ever feel like there's something missing from your life?

Almost every day.

10. When you're gone, what do you want to be remembered for?

I honestly don't care...as long as I made a difference in the lives of my friends and family in some way. Helped others in some way. Besides, the dead are all forgotten...because those that remember them die themselves. Kinda tragic really.
