The human character.

Branched off into several personalities.

Unlike Multiple Personality Disorders, which have conflicting characters appearing, everyone has several personalities.

Nothing like extreme differences. But more like different reactions based on our surroundings and external factors.

For example, one could have different personalities when:

He is alone, in private,

He is alone, in society,

He is with friends, in society,

He is at work,

He is at play.

Like water, so fragile and sensitive, it can respond to vibrations from music, a gentle breeze, changes in temperature, or rise up as powerful waves when strong winds blow.

Cause and effect, one of the many things one must examine when he reaches a sufficient level of emotional understanding of himself, and the people around him.

But such knowledge is useless unless we use it to our advantage. Many people who realize such things and cannot see a reason to use it in a beneficial manner often turn cynical, or pessimistic.

Through mental imaging, psychomotor exercises, or vocal exercises, one can put himself into his most productive, or optimize a certain personality to be more productive.

But the most beneficial aspect one has to gain from this, if he dealt with art or creation, would be to find which environment he would be most productive in, or which personality he can control the best to syphon out inspirations.

Many succesful composers or artists make use of thic concept to put themselves in a more optimized state during the incubation period of their ideas.

Art and music isn't about logic. You can't piece together things you've heard before. Thought application would be no different than reciting poetry - its not yours hence unoriginal, and useless.

Then again, one could say he would go with "feelings" during the creation processes. But feelings, are based on past experiences afterall. What you've heard or felt before, you want to replicate, or nostalgia of a melody or beat. Still, ultimately useless.

Ahhh but the greatest irony is in this - to be creative, you would have to defy all logic. Because that is, afterall, the essence of it all. To ignore logic.

But that would mean that one would have to disregard everything written earlier, making it meaningless to attempt to comprehend the preceding information.

But creativity, without direction, is also, utterly meaningless and useless.

The perfect balance of both. To ignore logic to an extent, yet to obey it. A wave directed at a point.





Yes, I am having problems with the soundtrack for this damned military game....
