People are Multi-Dimensional

How well do you think you know the people in your life?  Did you ever meet someone and have one opinion about them, and then find out that they are seen as a completely different person by someone else?  Perhaps it depends on the circumstances under which we meet them.  Was it a comfortable situation for them or not?  Was it in a large group or a one-on-one meeting?  Was it social or business related?  Did we meet them in a environment where everyone was meeting for the first time or were they being introduced to a group whom already knew each other well?  Each individual person has many sides to them.  Some may have more sides than others, and we can argue that with the more sides a person has, the more interesting they are.  But does more interesting equal more complicated, more difficult, more challenging?  If we know a person at one point in our lives and then meet them again many years later, are we meeting the same person?

We have depth, we have many sides, we are contradictory, we are many in one.  We are one thing to one person and another thing to others. Our truth depends on who is telling the story and when it is being told.  Perspective, once again, is everything.  Can you decide to be someone else for a moment, for a year, for the rest of your life?  Can people really start over with a "clean slate"?  Can people change or is it only circumstances that change?   Ah, my mind . . . I think too much . . . maybe that is why I blog.  So who are you . . . really, do you know?  Do you think you know me?
