Heraclitus

Who you play in RPGs says a lot about the man you will become

"it is only by life that a man reveals what he is, and it is only in so far as he reveals himself that he exists at all. Life is the manifestation of character, of the something that we understand by that word; and it is not in life, but outside of it, and outside time, that character undergoes alteration, as a result of the self-knowledge which life gives. Life is only the mirror into which a man gazes not in order that he may get a reflection of himself, but that he may come to understand himself by that reflection; that he may see what it is that the mirror shows. Life is the proof sheet, in which the compositors’ errors are brought to light. How they become visible, and whether the type is large or small, are matters of no consequence. Neither in the externals of life nor in the course of history is there any significance; for as it is all one whether an error occurs in the large type or in the small, so it is all one, as regards the essence of the matter, whether an evil disposition is mirrored as a conqueror of the world or a common swindler or ill-natured egoist. In one case he is seen of all men; in the other, perhaps only of himself; but that he should see himself is what signifies." -schopenhauer

Read "The Beast in the Jungle," and you'll see how it plays out, and how one man's character and psche seal his tragic fate

Heraclitus is the Tolkien of philosophy

So it looks like 'character' is something discovered or uncovered by how you find that you like to respond or act on the world. 'i have found that I like order' means the will to order is a characteristic of mine. Similarly with power or even more banal apetitive wills.

Yeah, evola. I can see how character is outlined in 'the doctrine of awakening' as well, as something nurtured through his aceticism.

I'll look into that, thanks
