Go to the limits of your longing

God speaks to each of us as he makes us,
then walks with us silently out of the night.

These are the words we dimly hear:

You, sent out beyond your recall,
go to the limits of your longing.

Embody me.

Flare up like flame
and make big shadows I can move in.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Don’t let yourself lose me.

Nearby is the country they call life.
You will know it by its seriousness.

Give me your hand.

–  Rilke
" It is a low aim to continually seek escape from the realities of this life; that time will come, soon enough. "
Personality and character are different. We all have a common sense of both, with "personality" being the reportoire of traits such as emotionality (neuroticism, anxiety), extraversion, agreeableness, openness to new ideas and experiences, and conscientiousness (diligence, carefulness, self-discipline). "Character" on the other hand, is less obvious than personality. A person's true character can only be determined when he is placed in a quandary, a stressful situation that forces him to make a hard decision.

Scientists tend to think of personality as more genetically driven and immutable, with the character more malleable to stressors, experience, choice, and belief. The character arc of heroes in novels and film is one such example of deep character change for the better. Our beliefs in religion, government, family, and civilization are, in part, based on this hope that an errant person’s character can be saved from the “dark forces of evil”
