This was such a fascinating read. I love how you teased apart the nuances between personality and character, especially the idea that character reflects our moral compass and conscious choices. For someone who embodies remarkable character, Nelson Mandela immediately comes to mind for me as well - his unwavering commitment to justice and reconciliation is truly inspiring. The way he prioritised healing over revenge after years of suffering is a testament to the strength of character. Thank you for such an insightful piece
Interesting. I would frame it that "personality" is the foundation - specifically the personality traits/temperaments that are based in genetics, and that everything that stems from that which is molded by experience would be the thing built on that foundation.
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful perspective—suggesting that personality rather than character is the foundation, not only provides an alternative way to frame the discussion, but also reinforces the contention that personality and character are deeply interconnected.
