When I first came across the concept of Multiple Personalities I was positively fascinated. I pictured in my mind a mental hospital cell and a person clad in white inmate patients dress babbling away incomprehensible words, now getting all excited about something and now getting all sad and beaten down. Unfortunately, I was looking a bit too far when the observations could be made much closer.
There are two sides on a coin. Just like that I sometimes feel that there are two separate motivations within me. One is very rational, intelligent and level headed kind of a bloke, charming too. The other one is raw power, brute force worshipper. Bone-head le supreme.
But everything has a place, even bone-headedness. Otherwise why would it be there? The ultimate fallacy is not knowing why? Things serve a purpose, be it good or bad. The idea is not to judge them as good or bad because in any case humans don't have any clear rights and wrongs. If the Socrates and Platos and Kants and Nietszches couldn't figure it out than I doubt you would any time soon. Though the challange is enticing, isn't it?
But let's not get distracted. I wanted to point out utility not morality. Utility is something which is not universal unlike morality and that's why it's much easier to understand. The fact is that I am stubborn and I know there are times when this becomes a useful quality. The idea is to use it in situations that demand it.
P.S. I love abstractions. You can prove anything by being abstract, isn't it?
