The Beginning

He was dead and I was 7.  I could tell he was dead.  It was pretty obvious.  So it intrigued me at the time that the rest of the family (who were grown-ups and supposedly should know better) were insisting on thumping his chest and blowing into his mouth whilst screaming and crying at him that he can't die.  As if he would pay them any attention.

I apologise for posting this on a post that has little to do with it, but it was this one or the other one; sorry.

I just wanted to know what you mean by 'split personality'? I know a few people who by one means or another have more than one person inhabiting their head; I know people formally diagnosed with multiple personality disorder or disassociative identity disorder as a result of trauma, people who identify as multiple in a healthy or natural way, and people who have another person inside their head as a result of psychosis, etc.

Excuse my curiosity, as I realise this is none of my business, but I am interested. Do you mean multiplicity by 'split personality', and if so in which sense, or do you mean something different?
