There are few people with more than a few layers. We call these people "shallow;" an adapt term.

How many layers can there be in a person? I have many layers.... and the further I go down, the more dark and... frightening I find everything. my "thoughts" post is an attempt to reach down past my everyday layers and grasp what I'm thinking down there. The reaction from the people who read it was worry. Hell, it worried me.

There is light down there, though. The deeper I go, the more I discover about myself. But I can't seem to get past the dark "asteroid" belt that seperates the surface from the inner light. I'm too scared to.

What are your thoughts on layers, and people, and insanity? :lol

Everyone has multi layers to themselves but some people tend to feel that it is something to be ashamed of.
In many cases there are parts of yourself that you may not want others to see and i dont think that makes one shallow at all. For me there are sides of myself that i only like those very close to be see or just keep to myself i know of some people who just show one side all the time too afraid of who they really are to me they are the shallow people - people who lie about their happiness or just pretend to be ok honesty is always the best policy in any situation.
As long as one of your layers isn't into killing then i think everyone needs a few to deal with the good and bad.

I think the secret is to understand all of those layers. Everyone has a dark side, it's a question of whether we chose to ignore it, submerge ourselves in it it, or embrace it for what it is. I embrace my dark side. I'm not ashamed of it, and I'm not afraid of it. I was at one time, before I realised that it's just a part of who I am. But now I'm comfortable with it.
Don't be afraid of it. It isn't that you are evil, or that you are insane. In fact I would think that if you try to bury it, or ignore it, that would lead to more problems than if you accept it. Then it festers, and bleeds out into other parts of you.
Again, it's about balance. If you are able to balance that dark side with all of your other layers then you will be ok. But what ever you do, don't ignore it.

my layers are preplexing and deep
hard to comprehend at times
I can be the demonic monster to
the gentle protecter of a kitten or puppy
and I don't like cats but sometimes I still
would cudle one
I have a dark side I except, embrace and fear it
i try to cater to it enough so
that it doesn't try to take all into a downward spiral

I have my rage and my peace
hardness and tenderness

I never really thought of it this way, but it's a great way to describe it. Yeah, I think people have many layers. Some have more than others. You'll get past the dark and find the light. It just takes a lot of digging. It's interesting when you do. It's like you become a completely different person because you finally have access to the deepest part of yourself. You become whole and you can draw on any of that anytime you want to. Really, it's a pretty cool thing. It's just kind of a rough road getting there.

Especially concidering that society has decided what layers are acceptable and what layers aren't. Society places these expectations on you, and that makes it more difficult to find out and accept who you really are.
As long as you aren't harming someone, I don't think you're 'supposed' to be anything. Just what you are. Once you realize that, I think you become a happier person.

I used to think i had layers ... but I think they've amalgamated together into a very weird and unenjoyable layer for me. $:\$

I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow. Casting shadows on the winter sky, as you stood there counting crows. One for sorrow ...

I believe that you have layers too, K'zee. Perhaps the cloud of sadness and frustration that you're under causes you to feel all grey... that they're all rolled into one, but I've seen them. *smiles* They're there.

*grins* Don't worry about it... some of those layers are pretty thick. There's nothing defunct about you.

Maybe that's more what it is, Deader. It's coming to peace with the dark part of yourself that allows a person to become whole. Most people seem to fear that part. I guess that's so because we're taught to do that.

Well, in a way whoever taught you that is right. We must learn to respect the dark sides of ourselves and not take them lightly. But... we don't have to be afraid of them. We DO need to understand the awesome responsibility that comes with each of those discoveries however.

I discovered that on my own, RS. Exploring the darker side of my personality doesn't make me want to run out and kill people or anything, it just helps me be creative in a way that I couldn't without it.

Moon...will you marry me? :cheesy

I kid. But you and I see things in a very similar way.

Anyway, if you're dark side does compel you to kill people, you should probably seek some kind of help

But other than that, I think a persons dark side is harmless, and necessary

Thanks for the cyber proposal. :cheesy

I would say yes, but I'm already taken. :smile

I agree. If your dark side does inspire you to kill people, you need help. I also agree that a person's dark side is usually harmless and most definitely necessary. It's all part of the balance that is life.
