Just by looking at the words "surface level", it makes you think that there are other levels involved. If there is a surface level, then there definitely must be something like the 'inner level' or the 'deeper level'.
What is "Surface
Level"?
Surface level is the
level at which operations occur only at the exterior, with no events whatsoever
at an interior level. With reference to the human psychology, surface level can
be thought of as feelings or emotions that 'surface at the surface' or rather,
feelings that exist only at the surface. These dispassionate feelings are
usually temporary or not long lasting. At the core, they do not really mean too
much. They are born at the surface and meet their end at the surface, unless an
event triggers them to shift otherwise to a deeper level. Surface level
thoughts or feelings have no emotional attachment, whatsoever. They exist for
the sole purpose of existing and not for any soulful reason. Nothing takes
priority, nothing is heartfelt, and nothing really matters. Words overpower
here to impress or win over others. Conditions rule.
What is Inner Level?
It is here where the
soulful operations occur. This is where there is understanding and compromising
and a strong bond of emotional attachment. This is where everything matters and
is of importance. Small things have the power of disturbing the equilibrium
here. This is where the true feelings reside. There are no pacts or
conditions at this level - everything is natural and free-flowing. Mind, heart
and soul are the key elements which rule at the inner level. Feelings are true.
Faith and trust reign supreme. Relationships are ever-lasting. Happiness
spreads throughout. Emotions are eternal.
