To choose or not the complexity of a character, this seen mainly through the often wondering of what would it be like to be a different person for each and everyone else. In this case it breeds, not a second too late, an idea that a true moment of your mind would be crushed by a chameleon-like behavior, censored by the need of the above presented circumstance. but how much of this is accurate and to what extend? However no answer found, the question here is not how you're seen in the others perspective, too often chained by a personal illusion mimicking experience, instead it's a question of identity. The self. That so-called unique entity given/started by (sometimes unfortunate circumstances) the so-named birth. Not sure where it ends or starts, but I will assume for the sake of it that this particular self starts and finishes with birth - death. How did this all begin?

To mark a setting, more of an imaginary one, I pictured a character a while ago (this time with a social function / persona) that presented him/herself as a human deprived of consistency in actions. An ideal of trans-formation, a morphing individual that displays a ridiculous ability to become what the surrounding rational beings desire or on the contrary never expect. A child with the eyes of your worst enemy, an innocent murderer, a friendly slave leader of your fears or a humorous depressed genius of simplicity. All-in one and yet never the same. The easy part of this contradiction would fall on the viewers, the victims of interactions with this personality, who would probably see it as a flaw of nature, a disturbed, an intentional or occasional misleading individual. However this is not the point of discussion.

Having pointed out the general traits, what really matters is the own perception over this particular self. Would an independent personality be able to resist the ever-changing environment and even more, remain as a flag, as the basis and creator of the others? Is this complexity, an evolution of self, or a human with no face, that has no answer to the riddle "do you drink the water or the wave"? Driven by fear and defensive measures would that person withstand the dissonance or perfectly conscious ....
