Are we two faced or more?
I
was surfing Facebook and listening to Galliyan- Ankit Tiwari (all this doesn’t
matter) when this question crossed my mind; Are we two faced or three or more?
Sounds interesting, right? By the way, just so you know, I am not talking about
human anatomy at all. This is away, far away from science. This is life, where
you find two or three or any-number-of-your-choice faced people. I hope you get
the drift.

| Two-face from Batman |
So,
the story of a two faced person (not that villain from Batman) starts when he
backstabs somebody and that somebody in return does his nomenclature like this.
The reason for betrayal can be anything that depends upon the situation and we
won’t analyze it in this article. However, in reality, absence of guts to speak
or do things up front compels a person to become two faced or more.
However,
there is more to it. Till now, we saw other’s perspective of somebody being two
faced. Now, what if I tell you that we actually change our character according
to situations?! Shocking, right? But, this is true.
Do
this activity once and you will find the above notion to be true. Next time
when you meet your friends or anybody in general who is not your family member
just keep noticing (and remember) the way you talk and behave.
Now,
when you come back home and spend time with your family over dinner or lunch (or
any meal in between because other time you are busy on the internet) once again
notice your behavior. Am sure you will find a change in it from the way you played
yourself out to the world.
So,
this far you are already two different people. You are a born actor my friend.
Congratulations. Directors are looking for a chap like you. Go, catch them all.
Anyway,
the final step. And, this step once done will show you the real you. Trust me,
I don’t kid for free. All you need to do is find some solitude or a mask to
hide behind. Best way is to create an anonymous identity on the internet, just
for this activity. So, you are hidden due to it. Nobody can see you until you
reveal yourself or you don’t know how to be anonymous on the internet. If it is
the 2nd case, internet will help you. Best wishes!
So,
once anonymous, pick any random person of any gender or your choice. Remember,
this is a hard task to do because people don’t easily get in touch immediately
with a stranger. But, let us assume you are successful in doing this. Now,
start to chat with them. And, more importantly, read and remember what you say
to them. Because when you will recall it you will realize that it was all true.
You didn’t say anything to flaunt yourself or to play defensive in anyway
unlike the other two scenarios above. And you will be shocked to know, but this
is the real you. The person whom you behave like in the third case is you. The things
that you truly believe are revealed in the third case when you are behind a
mask. After all, it is rightly said, give a man a mask and he will show you who
he actually is.

| Is this right? |
So,
finally, just count the number of characters you played in total. Am sure you
are smarter than a fifth grader and would be with an answer, three.
Congratulations. Or in Archimedes’ style, Eureka because we have found the
number of faces people have and it is three. So, next time if somebody says
that there are 7 billion people in this world and 14 billion faces; correct
them with 21 billion. Remember, each one has 3 faces, except for Harvey Dent,
who has 5!
Thank
you for visiting this blog. Have a great day!
I think most of us have two faces...really. We often meet such persons...everywhere...
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your perspective, Maniparna :)
DeleteKeep visiting O:)
behavior does change according to the situations and that's normal human tendency. I am not sure if we can qualify that well suited-to-situation behavior another face. That would necessarily mean it becomes a nature more than a necessity of behave in a particular fashion, sometimes, then be known as the face of a man.
ReplyDeleteI would still like to stick to the point that with each person there are two faces- the real one and the extremely talented one- which adjust and manipulates itself as and how needed to be...:)
No offense ..
Regards..:)
I totally understand your perspective, Monica. And it is good to see that you are making one face fixed and another one variable. And that variable face can take numerous forms. Fine. But there is a limit to the number of forms it takes in general and which is 2. And in total that makes 3 faces.
DeleteBut, anyway, I acknowledge and appreciate your theory. :)
Keep visiting O:)
Itna dimaag mat lagaao Varun :P
DeleteOk :D
Deletewith strangers you have nothing to lose, you can be whoever you want... but when it comes to our close ones, we need to think about a lot of things before we say something to them... the fear of losing them drives us crazy...
ReplyDeleteP.S.:Its not necessary that we show our true side to a stranger... we are more likely to show someone who we want to be rather someone who we already are...
Think about it :-/
PPS- Dont say "Keep Visiting O:)"
Whatever you do, you just can't be genuinely true to somebody whom you know from your daily life. Just saying.
DeleteAaate rehna :D
Exceptions are always there <3 ;-)
DeleteNhi! Nhi aayungi mein
Faltu mein subscribe kar rakha hai na meine!!!
Tu to dil pe le leti he yaar! :D
DeleteOf course :)
DeleteEk dil hi toh hai... :P
Thoda aaram karne do use! :D
DeleteSo the split personality people are the honest two faced people or as said more than a few faced. Except that the others are guilty conscience split personalities with a hazardous result. Nice one.
