More thoughts (from a sunlit) tower

Was thinking today as I sat in my tower watching the sun bake everything in sight while the dust turned everything to a uniform khaki color; I was thinking about people's personalities.

People have three-dimensional personalities. What I mean by this, is that not all aspects of a person's personality can be seen at the same time. Some people have rather uniform personalities, much like a sphere, where it is almost the same all around. Some people have cubic personalities, with aspects that are diametrically opposed (we usually call these people 'two-faced').

Most people, in my opinion have crystalline personalities, that is they have many facets, none truly in opposition to others, but unable to show all aspects of their personality simultaneously. Much the same way that you cannot see all sides of a diamond at once.

Each person that comes into contact with another will see different facets of that person's personality. Not only that, but they see them refracted through the facets of their own personality that are currently dominant. These facets are further colored by emotions, which act as lenses through which the facets are seen.

Whew...I think that is enough for now...I dunno about y'all reading this, but my head is swimming...

This is what happens to a fertile imagination that spends the day staring out of windows using binoculars.
