Creating ourselves

I was reading some of my last blogs, how intriguing. It is rather strange but on a daily basis we create our selves. We define our conceptual selves and delineate our individual boundaries. The Barefoot Wanderer, a figment of my own reality is in turn becoming increasingly more solid and hence impacting the relaity that once created it. Mikhail Bhaktin mentioned something similar when he talked about the characters of Tolstoy...or was it Dostoevski (it was)...and how he was a true master at creating a polyglot reality and that his characters were not enslaved to the authors will. I think this applies to us as well. Though we right our own stories, and I am a strong supporter of this theory, the more complex our characters become the less control we exhibit over there destination. A crazy paradox perhaps but nevertheless apparently true (to me).

This idea works well with complexity theory as well. The whole is more than the sum of its parts. It is impossible to retrace the steps that have created a human being (should the human being be an adequately complex individual).

What insane fun we are...bizarre creatures...
