People who reflect more on the why (not to be confused with learning dogma and other stock answers) than the how/what and people who become more lucid in their thoughts (who THINK before they "think") and reactions rather than reacting as their programming/conditioning dictates. Deep people as I define them can be fun loving or sad, good (altruistic) or evil (predatory) or even simply practical (but more "enlightened selfishness" rather than simply strategic, calculating, or expedient), be at peace with themselves and the world or continually upset by it, and can be of about any religious (and atheist) and philosophical persuasion. Their thinking ranges from deeply analytical to metaphoric, and they may even be illiterate (while others with their college diplomas can be extremely shallow). They can even lack common sense despite being an incredibly insightful person capable of astute observations. In short, they're like everyone else, only there's a lot more going on behind their eyes than most people and they tend to be a lot more aware and self-aware than many other people...which may prove to be even more of a liability than an asset (though the same can be said of being shallow, it really depends on the person and their circumstances).

Seriously, I equate depth with suffering.Not that everyone who has suffered is deep, but everyone who is deep has suffered. IP: Logged |

It's amazing to me how someone can go through so much and not be deep. I met someone like that, really astounds me. Maybe it's a defense mechanism though. IP: Logged |

^ Right. Well they might be deep but it's covered over...like a tarp over a pit...and they haven't consciously accessed their pain or its lessons. IP: Logged |

It is funny. I, always, wished I had a life like my cousins. They had a loving mother. They just did it right, all the way. If there was a way to succeed, they did, but they are not deep.My aunt is someone one would say has it all but she is really not deep. I think I stopped wishing to have had it easy. I have come to appreciate the tapestry that happens to a person who has suffered. I have come to embrace it and to even like it, a bit LOL ------------------

I agree that experiencing deep pain can help purge the soul and thus enhance deepness in a person. This is a truism well known to mystics of every tradition, and also what St. John of the Cross meant when he described the "Dark Night of the Soul" in the following way: quote:
Quoted from http://www.ecatholic2000.com/stjohn/drknt13.shtml:
"THIS dark night is an inflowing of God into the soul, which purges it from its ignorances and imperfections, habitual, natural and spiritual…"
His account contains much food for thought on the function of suffering for spiritual development. I wouldn't exclude the possibility, however, that some people can be (or can become) deep without much suffering in their life. It may be more rare, but it can happen, I think, with people who are born with much empathy. For them, witnessing the suffering of others can have much the same effect. IP: Logged |

People who are aware of the real truth of life and aren't just living from simple human things. People who see other things besides the third dimension. Maybe they have witnessed things that cannot be explained by science. IP: Logged |
