about me
I suppose this is the part where you want me to sum myself up in a nutshell. However, it is far too difficult to encompass one's entire personality within the shell of a nut. You see, nutshells, by nature, do not make for good containers of anything other than nuts. Anything else, especialy something as complex as a personality, should never be stored inside the nut's shell. The first and most obvious reason that nutshells make poor storage fascilities is the fact that they are seriously lacking in volume. Any personality worth getting to know is generally far too large fit within the tiny interior of a nutshell. Even a nut as large as the brazil nut is still far too miniscule to hold any sort of decent personality. Second, nutshells tend to be extremely hard. In my experience, I have noticed that personalities generally prefer to be comfortable whenever possible. To trap something as delicate as a personality in an extremely hard and uncomfortable space would only be cruel. Personalities need cushoning and insulation, neither of which is found inside the impenitrable shell of the nut. Yet another reason that one should not attempt to put their personality in a nutshell, is that nutshells lack any sort of compartmentalization. According to Freud, the personality has three aspects: Id, Ego, and Superego. Since the nutshell does not provide any proper storage compartments in which to separtely hold these different aspects, a potentially dangerous situation could arise. Id, Ego, and Superego would constantly bump into eachother inside of the nutshell, upsetting one another and ruining the fragile equilibrium of the personality overall. In conclusion, never try to keep your personality in a nutshell. It is both unwise and potentially hazadrous. I certainly never try sum up my personality in a nutshell and I know that I am much better for it.
