Personality is a concept that remains a mystery to many. What does it mean to be a person? And can you not be her or be a weak person? Many philosophers, psychologists, and sociologists have been studying the role of the individual for years, but not everyone can discover the true meaning of this concept. So what is that person? Let's try to figure it out.
Personality is its essence. The totality of thoughts, feelings, actions and views on certain events. Each person is a person, because this is exactly what defines his own "I". For hundreds of years, many philosophers, scientists, and thinkers have pondered what man is. Obviously, it is not the body and the words that he pronounces that make the person’s human being, but something hidden much deeper. It is the inner essence, the original "I", that is the true essence of man. This is precisely the personality.
It is also customary to call a person the totality of a person’s views, reflecting his understanding of certain issues and his point of view on various social and political phenomena. Of course, the concept of personality in the sociopolitical and social sense largely coincides with the psychological term, but, nevertheless, they should be distinguished. Indeed, in this case, it is not just about individual characteristics of character and worldview, but about the way of thinking in a specific direction and views on various issues through the prism of these thoughts.
The person, of course, is every person. But not everyone can say that he is a strong personality. Here we are talking not so much about physical strength as about qualities of the soul that allow a person to resist external circumstances and remain true to his own convictions, no matter what. Of course, and strong personalities are revising their point of view. It happens that they change their views on the diametrically opposite, but this always happens under the influence of changes in values and life beliefs, and not as a result of outside pressure. Any strong personality has the ability to clearly see your life path and follow it without losing track of your course.
In history, there are many examples of personalities who have mastered the minds of hundreds and even thousands of followers. Great scientists, thinkers, philosophers and military leaders, whose achievements to this day are admired by many. Such individuals are capable of changing the worldviews of the masses, are able to lead others and follow their intended goals at all costs. This does not mean at all that in order to become a strong personality, one must invent something, open a new mainland or conquer a neighboring country. The most ordinary bank clerk can become a strong personality, having shown enough endurance and willpower under the influence of life circumstances.
Personality is a fundamental part of our essence, without it we have nothing but the ability to digest food and move blood through the vessels of the body. Each person is unique and his difference from the animal is precisely in that he is a person.
