Q-Jei's quote #1
"Nobody is black or white, everybody is prismatic. And each side of our personality is a color. It just takes one situational change for unexpected colors to become visible."

I like that comparison! Though I don’t think you can actually change colors with a prism…
Perhaps we could use a (white-light) Michelson interferometer instead… but then we lose both the poetry and the math joke (I don’t understand these links either but I know some people are excited).
Also, congrats on getting a four-figure reputation!

Yes, I have to admit that the comparison I've made was a little flawed and not totally correct physically speaking!
No matter what you do, you will always see all the colors once the light refracted with a prism. For me, the prism is yourself, the ray of light is your personal experience and the colors are the different sides of your personality. They're a part of you as an individual, no matter what you do. Silently merged but never all shown at the same time. In the end, what the others see just depends on the viewing angle.
