Eric likes having to do with people who
find themselves intellectually towering over others. They so easily
contradict themselves in concepts they hardly understand. He likes
shaking the cornerstones of their fancy beliefs like the ones about
the nature of personality.
- My personality is who I am - claims
little Chucha - but my attitude depends on who you are. I'm a
nice person so if I'm rude to you, you need to ask yourself why - she
nails it in a fashion of prophetic anger.
But Eric's religion #4 teaches about
ultimate objectivity and it applies to personalities as well. He read
about them somewhere and now those tiny shreds of information make up
one of his yet another religion's key doctrines. He says:
"Personality has nothing to do with who we are. Who we are is
beyond thoughts and personality is but a monument of mental
projections about who we should become to prevail in battles of
trying to hide our own shame, in wars waged by egos."
On the other hand Eric is sure as well
that blaming others for one's own attitudes is nothing but looking
for excuses to keep on acting low. Those attitudes, thought by many
to be born out of ability to pass objective judgements, are
but subjective behaviours sanctified by self-given rights
to punish people for bringing out the worst in them. This is where
Eric advocates reflecting on why one's particular attidudes take such
unpleasant shapes.
- Don't make me do your job! - says
ultimately objective him.
