The following is a description of Spike's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Spike Milligan comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Spike Milligan - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Spike Milligan" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Spike a little better. This page describes the disguise Milligan wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
Forward-looking and progressive, he is a person who supports change, innovation, and human advancement, and Spike Milligan is often strongly committed to a humanitarian cause or social improvement. He is extremely aware of the interrelations between all people, and is always projecting personal issues unto a greater whole. Milligan sees the political or social ramifications of personal actions, and he wishes to contribute something of value to the world, or at least to his community or group.
The ideals of equality, fairness, human rights, brotherhood, and social justice color Spike's whole outlook and approach to life. He is truly interested in the good of the whole and not only his own personal well-being.
Sometimes he may overlook or ignore his own and others' personal needs, desires, and feelings, especially if they do not conform to his ideals of how one should feel or act. Though he has little patience for conservative narrow-mindedness, Spike Milligan himself is sometimes dogmatic about his beliefs and ideologies.
He is attracted to the avant-garde, the latest advances in human thought and development, and he is eclectic and cosmopolitan in his tastes. He may consider himself a "global citizen" rather than claiming a narrow, limited identification based on nationality, race, familial heritage, etc. Spike Milligan is strongly influenced by his peer group and the flavor of the times in which he grew up, more so than by parental or family influences. He is involved and active in groups, community efforts, as well as cultural and progressive movements.
On a personal level, Spike Milligan is friendly and expresses a kind of impersonal good will towards others. Milligan probably has many acquaintances but few really close friends, and much of Milligan's relationships with others are based on a sharing of common ideals and principles, rather than on emotional ties. Others see Spike Milligan as a good friend and a comrade who is objective, fair and rather detached emotionally. Spike does not often show his emotions, and may be unsure about how to respond to others' emotional expression, for he tends to be very rational.
Spike Milligan is also very independent and refuses to be possessed by any individual. Spike Milligan is not comfortable with traditional sexual roles and is inclined to have "liberated" views about marriage, relationships, sharing of child rearing responsibilities, etc. Spike Milligan needs to have a life outside of the personal, domestic sphere and to be involved with people on a broader scale. The nurturing of family ties, and close, deep, personal relationships may take a back seat to Milligan's work or outside social activities.
He may come across as a bit scattered, nervous or restless, as if unable to sit still. Spike Milligan seems alert and quick, but sometimes a bit on edge. Spike tends to stay perpetually busy, and would find handiwork of some kind soothing.
Spike Milligan comes across as tolerant, broad-minded, and well educated or as a seasoned traveler. He radiates a certain distinction, even nobility. Milligan is apt to have a significant, beneficial impact on the people he encounters, without even realizing it.
Spike often comes across to others more abruptly or even antagonistically than necessary to achieve his aims. And naturally, if people perceive that he is trying to compete with them or run them over, some of them will strongly resist Spike Milligan and his objectives. Milligan might be more successful if he tones himself down a bit and shows some consideration, without completely sacrificing his own needs and wants.
