- Were there that simple and clear-cut a line between them. Clearly,
- however, appearances is what a person does with what they're given. If
- you think it doesn't take effort to look good and healthy and beautiful,
- you have a problem. Personality is also given to some extent. So, both
- are a matter of what a person does with what's given. None of them are
- static, both of them behavioral. Further, people tend to want people to
- love them for what they _are_, as opposed to for what they _do_, and
- it's their personality they talk about, not their appearances.
-
- This should just give you an indication that the lines you draw are not
- only misplaced, but also that drawing a line between them is not at all
- possible on your premises.
-
- | Like I said, a big difference.
-
- Now, don't get me wrong. There _is_ a difference, and it's an important
- one, but it's not the one you refer to. Try again.
-
- My view is that appearances attract, personality makes you stay, and
- that the difference lies in depth of involvement.
