On Personalities


The term "personality", used to describe the traits that make each human being an individual, is a misnomer.  "Personality traits" are merely outward manifestations of insecurities, of which nearly all humans are suffused with. The only secure people are those with absolutely no "personality". 

Consider various "personality traits": 

Humour- Little more than a defense mechanism utilised in order to deflect attention from oneself and onto a situation, alternative person etc.

Kindness- Little more than a desperate attempt to win the approval of others.

Ambitiousness - Little more than deep dissatisfaction with oneself and one's position  in life.

As a consequence, our personalities are little masks which we wear, even to deceieve ourselves, each personality hiding from the others, every person a set of personalities, insecurities.  

But where, boys and girls, do insecurities come from?  They are bred from fear, and fear is the greatest enemy of all.  

Take off your masks; do not be afraid.

Think about it.
