Imagine a circle.
no.
Imagine a lot of circles.
Within each one there are hundreds of thousands of ...things. Thoughts, hobbies, desires, emotions,....stuff.
Now imagine that each of these circles are people, figuratively speaking. All floating around in one big space.
Each circle is comprised of all the stuff thats inside it, looking down at the big space where the circles float you can see everything within them but know that they cannot "see" whats within each other.
This is where things get ...mucky.
The circles will start making connections, bonds, with eachother. Bonds are created based on the similarities between the stuff circles. {lines = bonds} Lines begin to form between circles, the more lines the stronger the connection. Initially connections form simply because both are circles (ie. based on similar demographics or even something even more general). Eventually because of something within the circle (thoughts, ideas, hobbies, beliefs ect.).
Alright now down to the heart of the matter, and the reason for the title 'Sides'
I have a friend who always points out that I behave differently with different people. At first I was confused, seeing as I didn't really feel like I was behaving differently depending on the person and so I began to think about how this can be. After all this time I think I have a basic idea for why this is. *note that this is very general and basic and of course their is much more to it than this but bear with me*.
Here is where everything is tied together. Returning to the position of circle observer you will note that nearly all the bonds vary. Vary in strength, depth, and subject. This means that where the circle does not change shape or colour but rather the strength depth and ...basis is what changes. That is not to say that in some cases the circle will not change "face" depending on which circle its ...communicating with. But it does mean that it is not only possible but logical for outward behaviour, the behaviour seen by other circles, to vary. Each circle will approach other circles differently (ie. simply, exuberantly, grouchily, ect) but, once a circle develops bonds, that will change depending on the common ground between the circles.
Anyways this is my rough draft for what went on in my head these last few days. If you have any thoughts, questions, or ....fixes for this please comment!!!
