KIND OF HAIR AND THE PERSON

Yesterday, while reading Julian Marias, I remembered a story from childhood:
was Saturday, playing in the garden with my brothers when my mother came through the door. He came, very pretty, the hair salon. But she looked very different: she has always been length hair, and had left his hair much shorter and more blond than usual. First we started laughing like crazy, rolling around on the grass, how cruel, sometimes, children, "then I approached her, looking sad and said, "But ... if you look ... a lady". She was a little surprised. The fact is that it was good, yes, but did not seem our mother, but only one lady , a more of which we passed on the street daily . During the day I watched a lot, trying to decipher the mystery. In the end, of course, I got used [but, as I recall, no one has done it again hairstyle ever more].

That small child crisis at the strangeness-changing hair of my mother, had become really important to have affected another area of person: to the center (or substance) staff. Had it been altered, he had the impression of having "lost", that had been "alienated." Julian Marias explains really know that when a person is when we have reached key his substance (or lack thereof), its personal project. So, s or "substance" or "authenticity" allows us to see her as a person and only irreducible , the core remains confident that despite the contingency, time and circumstances, so variable-of life:

" The person" insubstantial "is one whose range of possible biographies is very poor, or inconsistent, destitute of justification and therefore intelligibility. Given the insubstantial person can not know what to expect, because she does not know. On the contrary, to others, we can ignore almost everything, we feel you have reached your personal center of which spring acts, and that contact gives us the ability to "inhabit"-or, conversely, be "inhabited" by it-that is, the interpenetration that is the highest form of coexistence and co. This is the richer the greater the " substance "of the person, ie, the degree of reality [...] So you have confidence in a person's character is always" bet "is affixed to a card, with the aware that they may lose, but with the conviction that this confidence will not be disappointed [...] "
