Multiple personality disorder is a well known psychological condition. But, to me, one person having several (or more specifically, three) personalities is a perfectly natural phenomenon, which is seldom noticed. I do not mean to say that every person around is a psychological nut case! No... But, every person, in my view is three persons.
I..
I call the first person 'I' , because it is simple, self contained and complete, with its own identity. 'I' is a person's true self. What you are deep down... What you are made of... It may or may not be completely expressed. But, it is your absolute self.
Me..
'Me' is what I think of 'I'. It is the person you want to be. Loosely, it has the same thought behind it as that in the hollywood flick 'The mask', starring Jim Carrey. Whoever wore the mask, became the person they wanted to be. That is why, when our hero Stanley ( Jim Carrey ), wore the mask, he became this maniac-yet-adorable super-hero, while the villian Dorian ( Peter Greene) , on wearing the same mask became a dark, ugly super-villian... now, we do not possess a mask in the real world, but each one of us does hold on to a vision of how they want to be. Their own version of who they can be.. That is,the second person in each of us, "Me".
Myself..
But the world is not just about us. There are other people too. And, we project a certain image of ourselves, in the minds of every person we meet and every life we touch. So, apart from this person that we are and this person that we think we are, there is also this third somebody which other's think we are. I call this third person- "Myself".... because, that is how most people introduce themselves, right? - "Hello Mr.Anybody... Myself, Miss.Somebody... Enjoying the party?" :) lolz...
However, these three people in us are like the three axis of the triple co-ordinate system. X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis... Though they begin at zero ( you ) , they never again come together....they diverge forever...
'Cos you never truely know what you are as you are too busy becoming what you want to be. And, despite everything, the world will always perceive you in a way which it finds the most interesting and fascinating!
True prudentiality and wisdom, comes from the understanding that "Les trois ne deviendra jamais un" (The three will never become one.. )
You remain captivated and enchanted endlessly by your three personalities- I, me and myself- forever...:)
