The Dual Personality

Concept

by Virginia

One of the many things impossible to human beings is to know some one else's inner feelings or their spec- ial outlook or problems unless we have ourselves per- sonally experienced them. Even then we can't have quite the same feelings about a given matter because we don't have the same background of experience to measure it against.

In the field of the TV there is a phenomenon that some have experienced and some has not. Those that have not, frankly, are not in a position to question those that have because they simply do not know what they are talking about since they cannot share another's in- ternal feelings. I am referring to the dual personality idea. Susanna and I frequently refer to it and many others besides ourselves have and are experiencing it. Yet there are those who, because they have not experienc it and probably never will are quite willing to deny its existance. As for myself anyone who wishes can talk as long as he has breath telling me that it "ain't so", that Charles and Virginia are one and the same person, that pants or skirts just don't make any difference. I kno they do, because I have very frequently experienced it and at some most unexpected times and in surprising ways. To those who say that the second personality concept is wrong I can only reply in the words of the immortal Baron Von Mucchausen who was won't to say, when questioned, "Vas you der Sharlie?" NO?, So der vas two poisonalities", and leave the opposition stand- ing there with his bare face hanging out.
