IN A PORTRAIT, THE BEST OF A
MAN’S TRAITS AND CHARACTER
ARE IDEALIZED
Commentary: ‘In a Portrait, the Best of a Man’s Traits and Character
are Idealized’ is an image of a person shown, or portrayed, in a
painting, drawing, story or photograph; with the good features
highlighted and the negative factors left out. This may be a positive
thing, or it may miss the true characteristics of the person. Our face
is nature’s “name-tag”; it tells something about our personality, our
temperament and race. Having features that make one stand out in
the crowd can be a good or a negative thing, depending on one’s
situation, viewpoint or beliefs.
Oracle: You may need to remind yourself of the true features of the
situation before you. Is the “true picture”—the ‘Man’s Traits’—allowing
their true beauty to be seen? If so, someone is presenting him or
herself with integrity and distinction. However, we sometimes analyze
others based on a superficial or ‘Idealized’ image we have of them.
This can distort the truth. When we do this, we are often really just
projecting our own thoughts, or desires, on to them. If someone is
“good looking”, do we appraise them differently from others whom we
think are not? If people have facial disfigurations, do we consider that
they are somehow “lesser”? Be wary of “judging a book by its cover”.
However, it may be necessary to look for the best in a situation or
person, and avoid the more undesirable factors. What lies within may
be different from what’s apparent on the surface. Studying someone’s
face, or how they look, for visual clues to who they are can lead to
accurate conclusions, if you know how to look for the “right” things.
Sometimes we make up stories or have fantasies about people so that
we can justify thinking better or worse of them. What is the picture
of the situation facing you? Do you feel it is an honest representation
of what’s going on, or is something being covered-up?
Keywords: Projection of beauty. Drawings, paintings, photographs,
etc. Art, cosmetics, beauty salons. Hairstyles. Elevated thoughts or
memories. Taking someone at face value. Visual senses and clues.
Recognition. Caricatures of people. Highlighting features. “Identikit”
drawings. Visual prototypes. Profiles. Face reading. Written reviews
and references. Viewpoints.
The Caution: Not truly assessing people. Vanity. Superficial judgments.
Propaganda. Misleading appearances. Tagging people with labels.
Misidentifications. Taking someone the wrong way. Seeing only the
best, or the worst. Preconceived beliefs. Feeling misunderstood.
Prejudice. Projections
