.you and i.
we abhor the same kind of bad characters in people. yet sometimes, without fail and realizing it, we erred and did the same thing to someone else.
my brother said he read somewhere about a psychological research on personality and character. although we always assume that they are the same, (stated so in the thesaurus so that means it has similar meanings, not exact, kan?) those two apparently bring different meanings in psychological point of view.
personality is what your impressions are on someone you just met and a continuous outward approach of a person. how they talk, how they carry themselves, how they treat others. character is what you discover or know more about a person after you spent a time with him/her. usually, a darker side of them come out in the open. that’s why someone could be great and nice but at the same time he/she is such a pain in the ass! (”that’s not a nice word, you should say kick his butt” “oowh” hehe cute~)
that sound explanation on the research’s finding clears up my confusion and ignorance BIG TIME! because it is really mind-boggling how an outwardly nice person can be emotionally hurtful the next.
but now i know and you know. so why don’t we all try to have both admirable character and personality instead of living life hiding behind that mask of hideous personality?
heh. esok esok buat lagi. manusia.
