Late Night Thoughts
I imagine our characteristics as humans are in layers
The top layer of hair or almost like thick cacti are easy to reach and easy to change, constantly moving and being impacted by daily life, fairly simple to turn on and off and alter without much issue
The deeper layers of us hurt more when they are altered, like going against the grain of hair with a razor and the tension builds as you create pressure against the normal colic of the hair. It’s uncomfortable to be honest. And harder to alter, takes more effort, but can be done.
The deepest layers hurt the most and I think that these layers are what becomes instilled in us during our childhood socialization. Hard to change but once again it can be done. But it is very painful and challenging.
I do think humans are malleable. I think we change on a daily basis, dependent upon our surroundings and our people.
