Not that I'm taking anything you write seriously, but come on. I think a person's true nature includes both their sweet side and their dark side. The question is what will a person choose to develop and hence become decades, centuries, or an eternity from now.
How can one develop after you are dead? Unless you believe in a fairy tale version of the universe, that is.

I feel sorry for those who use 'fairy tale' in a derogatory sense. Life has so much less glamer. I decided to take the Messiah's advice and 'be as a little child'. :)
I am going to start believing that I am President of the US and take multiple wives. When my wife objjects to Polygamy ill just ell her that its my fantasy and I should be allowed to do so. When people laugh at me for calling myself president ill just tell them too bad, I believe it therefore its true. When im committed ill be able to live out my fantasies in my head similar to when I imagined I would become a God after I die.

There is no real side. People don't have a personality in my experience. They choose one. I was trying out a new one. Going from light quips to more agressive insanity. I was going to register a new name "BoBo the Mentally Unstable" but decided not to.
It is my personal view that the worse someone is the closer you get to the true personality. The more negative someone is the truer one gets to an actualization of how that person responds under pressure. True character is not at a base level of stress. True character is how individuals respond when the s*** hits the fan and one must react without thinking.
I would disagree. I would judge someone based on their choices when at their highest points. Judging them by what they do when animalistic influences are at their strongest seems wrong. To say that that is our real character (to me) demeans humanity.

You can believe whatever you want and have whatever fantasy you want. If it screws up your real life it must not have been a particularly good belief or fantasy. Thank you mister amateur psychiatrist for your diagnosis.

I think that how you "think on your feet" and react during times of crisis is a part of your personality, but I would agree that it isn't the crux of it.
Sometimes we make good judgments in the heat of the moment. Sometimes we don't. It's what we DO when we make mistakes and miss the mark with those judgments that shapes who we are. If we are able to admit those mistakes, repair the damage, move forward, and not repeat those same mistakes, THAT is character.

Please tell me this is satire.

I get it. It's funny cuz Nehor is a boy and you are saying he is a girl because that would be really funny because girls are emotional and stupid.

True but I would add that the choices we make when emotions are not running high are likely to be the only things that can change us when they are.

I think we all can act poorly. I think how we choose to act means more about us than anything. I can be quite a mean bitch. I mean, I can be very, very cruel, vindictive, petty, and hateful. I try really, really hard not to be that person.
I act awful at times. So? I try to counter that by reflecting upon my actions and deciding whether or not I really want to be someone that acts in that manner. The last few months I've had quite a bit of difficulty acting in any reasonable manner. Emotional extremes overtook most rational thought and ability to moderate. Yet, that lasted for only a few weeks. All in all not so bad, maybe? ;)
Anyway, about the spiritual things. People that make fun of spiritual things should have some LSD rectally implanted immediately. Lighten up. People that Twitter about spiritual people and try to impress others with their superiority are boring twats in my opinion.
You've got to be kidding to think that how a person may behave a small portion of the time is their real nature.
But hey, if you want to choose that as your standard, you're free to do it. I just hope that you understand (you don't often show signs of this) that people choosing to recognize the spirit is no less ludicrous a standard.
Mock if you will. Hopefully in your head you will be mocking with the understanding that your ideals are equally as ridiculous.
