Individuality - "The aggregate of qualities and characteristics that distinguish one person or thing from others; character"
(Source - The first result on google search for - "individuality + definition")
So, I assume that it is fairly a constant thing which is with shapes a person's thoughts and probably his actions (unless under some kind of duress). If I had to give some kind of physical form to it it would be fairly solid though not completely, as it is subject to change by effect of some external influences, which maybe somewhat significant influences (after all, this is the only way an almost solid object can change its shape).
I was just wondering that what happens in case of a person's individuality is a fluid or is expected to be a fluid.
In this case a person's individuality will be flexible - probably not defined at all.
And, if the vessel is a relatively powerful object which can think on its own & has a right to dictate what kind of things it would permit in it then what will it choose ?
I believe it is a kind of liquid that it can give a shape to - that fits it requirements. It would say no to solid objects. After all, those solid objects would prefer to have their own shape and that shall not be dictated by the shape of the vessel it is poured into.To make it believe it might issue a diktat (after all, it is powerful!) that allows only liquid to be poured into it - anything else would not be permissible.
Moral of the above crap -
Stop thinking about your individuality. You mean nothing, Be flexible. You have a society to fit into.

I dont agree to the conclusion :)
ReplyDeleteBut maybe, that's the practical choice!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I'm a too ardent supporter of individuality to even vaguely agree with that! Truly believe its individuals that add to the rich diversity of society otherwise we will just be a flock of sheep and only the shepherd an individual!!
