So what makes someone dimensional? Two dimensional folks are those whose lives are the what-you-see- is-ALL-you get persons. Like paper dolls, they speak what they hear on the sports or political news, they appear fashionable and attractive, their lives are mostly keeping up appearances and have little to do with depth of thought or creativity or knowledge beyond the average. Well, you know the sorts I speak of. Kind of you and I people. Everyone likes this kind of individual because their speech is two dimensional and offending no one because like paper, only little "cuts" might happen, ones that soon heal and don't leave scars. The three dimensional types are in social trouble a lot because, they "upset carts" and dig into matters with their deep shovels. They don't float on the surface of issues, they dive down and learn about them and what is happening and spend their waking hours planning and making attempts to change what they think is not right. It's much easier being two dimensional, but like paper pictures, you look at them for a short time and then move on, either to other two dimensionals or simply hang around the three dimensionals hoping some of their wisdom rubs off on you. I'm not sure I have the courage to be three dimensional all the time, but I hope that I can attempt it once in a blue. Most of us in the vast majority are the same. We aren't comfortable with doing anything specific about what is not right but we try to support it in some minor way and hope that it will help. The brave souls who are in the front lines risk a lot for we two dimensionals. They often give their entire lives to that service and are bashed about for it cruelly. But they, at least, unlike us, try to make changes. I may not always agree with the three dimesionals, but I admire their grit.
