Character is what a thing is made of; its true constitution ; its elements.
"To make a silk purse from a sow's ear" is contrary to character: that of the pig's ear and that of silk, both.
Yet, in this cyber-age of synthetics, cosmetics, prosthetics; even of inane aesthetics, one's true character is too often overlooked or as often mistook!
One of the greatest teachings of all times dissociates the color of one's skin from their content of character.
Character, then, is neither cosmetic nor genetic ; it is deeper still, being essential, derived from essences.
Character is quintessential. It is that without which a thing is not. It is also that with which a thing necessarily is.
Character is both within and without.
"When you get right down to it, isn't this really what it's all about, girl?" So sung the Delphonics' popular lyric.
Character is the spiritual expressed through the material. It is the soul of man, of life, of all things: even that of the "wet from water or the dry from sand." As sung by Smokey Robinson.
The character of a thing is its nature. "Unnatural" is contrary to its nature.
Solid, liquid, gas, plasma are the four states of matter. These natural phases of matter respond to, react with, every environmental change.
Does the spirit respond and react to environmental change, like matter, in its own interests of self-preservation?
Or is the spirit singularly defiant of any environmental change, or of any other change, if possible to know?
Are matter and spirit even severable?
Or is this notion of their distinction a false, imposed dichotomy; a gloss?
If matter is spirit, being the same, then, they would experience the same four transitional states in the same environmental contexts, or in any other context regardless.
The 4-chambered human heart is the seat of, as it is also emblematic of this joint 4-phased character of man; this mysterious amalgamation of the spirit and matter in man codified is "soul": liquid, solid, gas, plasma.
Yes, the heart is deceitful above all things, says the Bible; that none can know but God. http://biblehub.com/jeremiah/17-9.htm
Yet, at the same time, we are assured that both the deceived and the deceiver are God's. Job 12:16
"Character" can be camouflaged like nature uses camouflage to disguise plant and animal life to survive alive.
So, be discerning of character and of characters of all kinds, because it is possible to deceive the very elect.
"Man, know thyself" means character.
Knowing your character, first, enables you to discern and to recognize the specific, unique character of others surrounding you, by the Holy Spirit.
"21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. " 1 John 3:
Character is the content of the heart.
