personality crown

My mood ring had me thinking what if there was such a thing as a personality crown; so that it would show your true personality if you wore it. How many people do you think would wear one? Setting aside the uncertainty in its prediction, would it be as important as your physical appearance to people? Would they learn that even having the courage to wear a crown gives you an outstanding character? ... I am still not sure if it would affect the majority. I have come to believe that people judge mostly on appearances. Why else would it be that everyone only comments you on your looks and almost never on your attitude, manners ... ?

P.S. While I was answering Pedram's comment, it occurred to me that my crown is another interpretation of Sohrab saying:

.... کاش آدمها دانه های دلشان پیدا بود

well, can you precisely say that how this crown should work? what is this supposed to show? I think I don't know what do you mean by personality.

it's imagination, so you can assume whatever you wish. let's say it shows your true character. then you'd be able to tell if someone is honest, nice ... or if they are deceptive, mean ...

So, do you think people's "true characters" change with time or not?

I see your point, however, I am afraid "daaneh haaye del e aadam haa peidaa bood", life would be intolerable!

actually i think it would be much easier. you wouldn't have to worry about intentions, you could just see it right in front of you.

This I agree, but I am afraid life will lose some of its excitements- which are directly caused by uncertainties- this way.

:) may be. but i prefer to keep the excitements for the presentation of ideas and idealogies. i feel i really need to be able to trust the person i communicate with ... i guess i have been let down a lot lately ...

You should not let your one experience creates your judgment towards everyone! There are always good and bads and it's up to us to be able to differentiate between them and I should say that it is not easy at all! But as Pedram said above, it is part of the excitment of the life... Getting to know someone could be like solving a problem! You have to analyze them...

It would be great if somebody could define the "True Character" idea? then I will persuade my supervisor to fund me for making the crown to screen it..she is looking for a project for me..and later we will make a good business out of it :)

I think this is too complicated? I defintly hate to wear such a symbolic crown sometimes, because I am really evil sometimes..but there are moments in my life that I do appriciate wearing such a crown! there are moments that I feel high..we are all the same in this..sometimes we are wolves sometimes rabbits sometimes dolphins, donkeys, mice, dogs, pigs,pigs,pigs...it can't just be explained ...what we show is time and space dependent..how such a crown might show something that is this much floppy? where exacly this data is stored in this world? while we ourselve are not aware of it...Now I feel something between a rabbit and a dolphin..bring me my crown before I change to a pig I want the world to see me right now! just kidding :)
but trust me its too complicated...
