STATE-OF-THE ART- DEFINTIONS

Multiple personality- a rare disorder in which an individual displays several functionally dissociated personalities, each of a complexity comparable to that of a normal individual. (defn copied and pasted) My take - It isn't rare.Definietly not a disorder..faaaar from abnormal and most of all, it's perfectly natural to be caught in a personality warp..simple- one side warps the other.A trifle misleading perhaps but nothing more.It's just a question of whether or not you're really onto what's going on inside that head of yours.Personalities dont spring into existence.They develop over time.Also, where are the grounds for multiple personality being a "condition" when all it is, is just a buncha nerves doing their thing? :D [pun not intended, SPELT OUT loud and clear] I mean, you don't have to be 100% Hithcock's-slash-Sidney Sheldon's character-like to display it. Sum and substance is that Einstein or Hitler..it's quite hard (make that impossible) to shake off influence(people's,circumstance's,life's et al).We only have a choice about the way we want it.Now that's some silver lining !!
