Childhood is a rich time
A child is in the process of formation. The foundations are being laid for future life. What a child wants to become, it can shape NOW.. and the child is doing just that
What you put into her head, she's gonna accomplish that in life. When you wield such power over someone's life..... do we want to go here? The power can sometimes be corrupting ........
Ok... what was the topic again? "Dynamic Personality".. Oh yes, I tend to forget a bit so I apologize!
A child is a very free individual. Free as in free of responsibility, much consequence, mentally free and inclination to experiment. A child can play any roles playing with her dolls. She can fit into any personality. It is all imaginative, and she can use any role in her life too, at whim
As she grows up, she adopts a bit of this, a little of that, according to where her life seems to be headed...... and as life sort of stabilizes, she has a practiced personality to deal with the life she got
Much of her choices are of course not original. She may see other people, and try to copy them. If her mom yells at the servant and she sees that servants are to be yelled at because thats how the work is getting done, she may apply significance to the "yeller" role and will record it for future use
Now as adults we have learned of many new behaviors. But we are still unable to change our patterns. In fact we are hard pressed to recognize them
But once we see the light, we are desirous of changing. But we find ourselves "locked" in our behavior.
The solution in this case, is to get a bit more imaginative. Get a partner, and do a role play. Imagine a situation. Converse with your usual behavior, and let the other person play the supporting role, ie, the environment. Then try an alternate role, and see how the 'environment' changes. Keep trying until you learn what is more likely to work for the environment...

About the Sun
First, a bit of vomit..
I mean, I am repeating here what I heard or read somewhere, without digesting - it may or may not be true
Fakirs, tantriks and certain other people, mostly in the philosophical field, drink intoxicating drinks, or do some kind of drugs (Ganja, Charas etc). By this they would go on a "trip", mentally.. and make them to think unusual and out of the box thoughts.
Now let me begin
BTW I mentioned the above, because what I am about to write has occurred to me without taking any drugs! I don't know how I do it but here it is
Visualize the Sun. What is burning in the sun? It's a whole lot of Hydrogen.
Is there Hydrogen on Earth? Yes, Of course. And since it is a light gas, it probably is found in the upper layers of the atmosphere
So our picture of hydrogen on Earth is, First the Soil, then other gases, then Hydrogen, then the lighter gases
What in case of the Sun?
What if?
Soil, Really, really, cool gases, hydrogen
The gravitational power of Sun is of course several hundred or million times more than Earth. It is natural that it would attract much more gases...
And like a gas burner, something caused the hydrogen to flare up.. maybe it is just the extreme pressure causing extreme heat.. or just a volcano.. and there is created a warm world protected by an extremely hot outer atmosphere.
All this is too crazy.. but perhaps a good theme for a Harry Potter or suchlike series

Where did we really come from?
Life fails to make sense for most rational thinkers
Are we really improvised models of insignificant life that started functioning by accident?
Too far fetched..
Then why do we take ourselves sooooooo seriously?
In this day and age, we are all familiar with DNA, which is a blueprint of the various cells our body is composed of
Who needs a blue-print? Who works with blue-prints? The answer is almost sad and unfortunate
What is the BIG difference between us and the machines we create? I say it is the sophistication
The machines we make are modeled on our own functioning. For example, like us, a computer has a short-term and long term memory
What goes to say that 100 years hence, we wouldn't be building a machine as sophisticated as us, or more? After all, we are good imitators. What prevents us from re-harnessing DNA to create absurd beings that are neither living nor dead, and capable of inhuman stamina, super-fast thinking and deadly strength?
I am going a bit out of the topic here. I want to allure to the fact that, the more we find out about how the specii work, the more it matches a machine
What then gives us the right to take ourselves with such great seriousness? We should knock it off..

So you think you are very bright?
As grown-ups we know there are situations in life that can leave us stumped. No matter what your current standing in life may be, you have definitely been in not-so-enviable positions.
When Circumstance decides to have its say what can a person do?
Circumstance affects us in the strangest ways. We seldom realize where it is hitting us from. It could be as simple as a bus conductor or government or police official reacting to a spat with his wife and making hell for you
Yet when we see a person who is not faring well, we seldom think: oh, there might be some circumstance in his life. We quite narrowly dismiss it as some foolish person who didn't see the pitfall as clearly as we did, and congratulate ourselves
And again when it happens to us we look around for some respite and some mercy....
When will we ever learn?
