UNDERSTANDING SOME HUMAN PERSONALITIES

Have you ever sat down and study within yourself how many different personalities you have? Sometimes you may act like a child playing “peekaboo” with your spouse, children or adult friends. Sometimes you may act as tame as a kitty cat, as wild as a tiger, as hysterical as a hyena, as talkative as a parrot, as hungry as the wolves or even as wise as an owl. Have you ever thought that you are a combination of all these personalities? These are some of the images of who you are, images of your “SELF”. No one person on earth has only one personality. Most of us are born to act differently in different environment or different situation.

Since birth, you have been labeled. What lied under that label is you. You start to believe in that label and live based on what other people has taught you, namely your parents. When you grew up, you have friends whom will influence you with their own labeling. “Hey…why go for local made when you can have more sophisticated made?” You tend to get interested and drifted away from your culture and tradition to have a taste of something that is new. How long you stay under that label depends on your mentality. How much of those perceptions are right or wrong depends on your maturity? This is where those different personalities are gathered from.

I often noticed that a number of people who hated evil most are likely to be very evil themselves? What made me conclude to this statement? Very often, these type of people tagged the evilness of others but not themselves. I was once like that too. Criticizing and insulting others were my second nature. As age gets older, I realized that these actions are of no benefits to me at all as when I pointed my finger at others, the other fingers are pointed back to me. Feeling superior and happy when denouncing others whom we deemed evil was not the ideal choice anymore. It has only given me the temporary false sense and turned myself into an evil. Isn’t it better for me to look into myself to avoid the recurrences of that personality or characteristic?

How do like someone whom will never stop telling lies? How do you feel when a person lies to you? What does one get if one lives a life filled with lies? I am sure that person will not grow up mentally and psychologically if one does not live a life of truth? What will happen if one lived the life of lies? There will be never ending of lies on top of lies. By the end of the day, one will not remember what has been the first lie. Do you think there is any real lasting joy and satisfaction in staying at such a stage?
