“Individuality is all elbows, it separates and isolates. It is the characteristic of the child.” - Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
Individuality boxes others out. It wants to carve out a convenient corner of the universe all to itself or to retain a private luxury suite of sin in its soul.
Personality, on the other hand, is the individual under his Maker’s authority. Personality is dynamic because it is connected to its source of power.
Individuality is disconnected from God and others and it suffers for it. It is boring, always engaging in the tired ol’ game of catch and catch can.
Personality receives from its Creator and is therefore creative. It is genuine.
Trying to be genuine is one of the most hackneyed, disingenuous tactics imaginable and everyone sees through someone trying not to be seen through. There are few mysteries easier to solve than the whodunnit where one suspect doth protest too much.
