Multi Dimensional Personality

Somebody mentioned something to me yesterday.
It wasn't said with malice or any ill-intent, just a sound advice.
But it made my mind form a stereotype on the person's personality and character as it wasn't the first time I'm hearing the person make this remark.

And a thought came to my mind...

Is this person often like this? Is my mental picture of the person a true representation of the person's character?

After pondering on this thought for a while, I came to this conclusion.

Nothing is absolute.

Especially in the case of the human personality.

We just love to stereotype people, don't we?
It's a disease of the human mind. It seems that forming a mental picture of a person who is extremely detestable or extremely lovable comes second nature to us.
If not, why do super heroes or super villains intrigue us so? It's precisely because their characters are so flat!

Have you ever encountered anybody who irk you so badly that if you could, you would pull a trigger on his head?
And before you know it, in the next second, the person apologizes.
Then you think to yourself, perhaps he/she's not that irritating after all?

Which leads me to my other point. The human personality is multi-dimensional.
What we see, is only what the person portrays to us in that fleeting moment of interaction.

Take time to consider this.

Just another random thought from Adderwyn.
