Character 100118

Character

It is what essentially makes us unique from other individuals.  Our character, whether it is subjectively considered good or bad by other people, is what defines us as a person.  Though I really do not mind the opinion of others, since there is really nothing that I can do to change it, but surprisingly, there is something that what one could do to shape it.

Opinion is of the cheapest commodity around, everybody has one.  More than anybody else’s opinion, your own opinion about yourself is the most valuable opinion.

A person’s character is always dependent on perception.  Being predicated on perception means that such is always influence by subjectivity.  The equation here being that there is always a 360 degrees’ perspective of looking at things.  There is your own personal view, there is the view of other people and there is the objective perspective on what actually happened.

PRRD with his trademark callous disregard for manners and decorum, crossed the imaginary line of decency ages ago, there was even a time that such was an advantage.  While Erap encourage the proliferation of Erap jokes at his expense, the advantage was that tales of his stupidity endeared him to the masses.

The support base of Erap is a ghost of what it was at its peak.  The applause and buy in for the tough guy image of PRRD is waning.  Cussing your way to the presidency and maintaining the hold on presidency via cussing are two different things.  And the audience are getting tired of the usual excuse that such was only a joke.

Character is what makes us unique as an individual.  While some are aware that such is their public image, others are still struggling for their own emergence of character that they could truly claim as their own.  Some are originals by their own right, while some are pathetic replicas.  The challenge really is how to find your own defining character and shape it further from being generic to something that is specific.

A character is supposed to related to values, so what values do we represent that defines our character?  Subjectivity is all around us and a person’s character is a dime a dozen, or in this inflation laden era, lima piso.
