Omyword! It's easy to create the illusion of feistiness while hiding in my apartment. hehe. OK, I am feisty. But also a little chicken. Interesting combo.

in Question of the Week : Person and Persona on Paulo Coelho's Blog

Hello Mr Coelho,

Thanks for the opportunity to join this discusssion.

"The word "Person" comes from "Persona" (latin) and "Persona" meaning mask, a mask that we have to wear sometimes in society. Sometimes we have to be political, we have to use this persona.

The question is: Who are you? Who is your persona? Who do you think you are and what you are forced to do to behave so you can survive in the society".

A large chunk of who I am is represented in my blogs. Large but not all. For practical and self-protection reasons, we can not completely say who we are in our online journals or writings but anyone can have a pretty good grasp of the kind of human being I am.

I do not assume a certain 'made-up or propped' persona to function well in the world where I am now. The real world needs openness and not pretenses for it to become a better place.

I am 'what you see is what you get'. That is me. I have been pit-level down before. But, somehow, I managed to survive the apathy of others, especially those who do not know me well; the derision of people who are related by blood who are worse than those who're not; and the perpetual condescending attitude of people affected by my past personal life decisions.

To them, that is their problem. I have learned to expel all my grudges away and hope to stay positive every moment that I can.

Too naive? Most times naivete is a welcome change.

Cheers to you Mr. Paulo Coelho.
