More From Will Smith

I am remarkably likeable. few people have ever been as likeable as i am. there is, frankly, no end to my likeability. people gather together in public assemblies to discuss how much they like me. i have several awards, and a small medal from a small country in south america which pays tribute both to how much i am liked and my general all around wonderfulness. i don't have it on me, of course. i keep my medals in my sock drawer.

As we grow older, we should learn that these are two quite different things. character is something you forge for yourself; temperament is something you are born with and can only slightly modify. some people have easy temperaments and weak characters; others have difficult temperaments and strong characters. we are all prone to confuse the two in assessing people we associate with. those with easy temperaments and weak characters are more likable than admirable; those with difficult temperaments and strong characters are more admirable than likable.

Let me have my tax money go for my protection and not for my prosecution. let my tax money go for the protection of me. protect my home, protect my streets, protect my car, protect my life, protect my property...worry about becoming a human being and not about how you can prevent others from enjoying their lives because of your own inability to adjust to life.

Novels are routinely denigrated when characters are not found to be likable. is raskolnikov likable? is king lear? the plethora of such naive readers testifies to a failure of imagination - the capacity to see into unfamiliar lives, motives, feelings - and this failure must, at least in part, be the failure of the teaching of literature in the schools.

It's not that you aren't likable. on the contrary. you are. it's just that one wonders if you haven't made a career out of being so likable.
