mASF post by "ancestor"
posted on: mASF forum: General Discussion newsgroup, July 7, 2005This post is about the difference between having the persona of a cool
guy and having the character of a cool guy.
webster.com
persona: an individual's social facade or front that especially in the
analytic psychology of C. G. Jung reflects the role in life the
individual is playing -- compare ANIMA b : the personality that a person
(as an actor or politician) projects in public : IMAGE.
character: : one of the attributes or features that make up and
distinguish an individual.
Let's have a look at Clint
This guy is superficially cool. A raging bull with a chilled facade. He
is like a volcano ready to erupt. Little comments or negs of others look
as if they pass him by but in fact some 20 or so percent (shooting from
the hip) slip behind his mask and accumulate. He is in fact afraid of
some comments and is very socially concious but is trying to hide it
with a tough guy facade. This works fine for some time but in the end he
will have have a big load of negative energy within him that is ready to
REACT to any MINOR ignition of this barrel of negative gun powder. His
high is in the negative emotion release that gives him no higher purpose
but in fact will just take him down.
Steve... the man
This guy doesn't even know he's cool. Other peoples comments don't
affect him at all, but he's also socially savy in the sense that as soon
as it goes overboard he is QUICK TO CORRECT it and stomp the problem in
its infancy. A more laidback version of Kojak you could say. He's cool
because that is his character and not because he has to hide something
or cover something up. He really let's nothing phase him that is not
important and rather reacts with a more distant or calm approach than to
lash out in an uncontrollable ball of anger.
In fact Steve stores the comments and social "warfare" that he
encounters on a day to day basis and uses it to give him an incredible
high. The high of an adrenaline rush flooding his whole being. When
skydiving he releases all of this built up tension that still affects
him but turns it into something good for him. Same for race car driving,
martial arts etc... He is in fact saying to himself "yeah come on give
me some confrontation", "give me some fire to my next big adrenaline
high", channeling it to his next sensation.
comments, rebutals?
