Take
the
one
particular
characteristic
known
as
vivacity.
How
we
envy
those
who
possess
in
abundance
this
great
gift!
No
matter
how
irregular
one's
features
may
be,
even
though
they
repel,
if
a
smile
shows
vivacity
associated
with
a
keen,
intelligent
personality,
one
cannot
be
otherwise
than
attractive.
John
Bunny,
with
features
rough,
unchiseled,
ugly,
almost
uncouth,
yet
possessed
a
personality
that
spread
its
contagious
good
humor
to
millions
of
people
in
all
quarters
of
the
world
who
mourned
his
recent
death
as
that
of
a
personal
acquaintance.
On
the
other
hand,
even
though
a
man
or
woman
possess
regular
features,
the
lack
of
animated
expression,
of
vivacity,
causes
the
person
to
be
regarded
as
"cold"
and
"repellent."
Speaking
in
the
vernacular,
it
puts
you
in
the
class
of
the
"dead
ones."
One
may
say
that
magnetism
and
all
the
desirable
qualities
that
draw
others
to
us
are
closely
associated
with
the
supreme
development
of
the
forces
of
life.
No
vivacity,
then
no
personality.
The
average
individual
goes
through
life
without
living.
In
other
words,
he
scarcely
exists.
He
has
never
felt
the
throbbing
exultation
of
a
keen
joyous
moment.
Nor
on
the
other
hand
has
he
ever
suffered
the
tortures
that
are
supposed
to
be
associated
with
the
damned,
for
we
must
remember
that
the
power
to
enjoy
carries
with
it
a
corresponding
power
to
suffer.
But
we
should
also
remember
that
the
possession
of
these
extremes,
the
ability
to
enjoy
or
to
suffer,
indicates
the
attainment
of
what
might
be
termed
the
most
complete
human
development.
If
we
wish
to
find
a
perfect
picture
of
the
phlegmatic
temperament,
we
can
study
a
pig
to
advantage.
And
yet
there
are
many
human
beings
incapable
of
manifesting
life-forces
equal
to
those
of
this
humble
animal.
