Perhaps it would be helpful to add that the concept of the "Trinity" arose from how people (Christians specifically) have experienced God.
They have experienced Him in the three major ways mentioned.
On a more personal note, it also leaves open to me the question of whether or not there are other experiences of God that can be so identified. For example, the ancient notion of Sophia, or God's wisdom.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." – C.
