Likability is the power of appearing nice, friendly, pleasing. It is a superficial skill, a socialization tool that helps in basic social interactions. It does not give any insight on a persons motivations or personality traits. It talks to the more infantile part of our ego. Nothing is more appealing than a smiling face that seems to be wanting to give us something. This act is so attractive that the most notorious serial killers, like Ted Bundy, used this weapon to get the attention and trust of their victims. Likability can be a very powerful mask to hide behind. The person who is likeable does not necessarily love. Without love nothing good happens.
Let's use wisdom and look deep into our heart and see through the schemes of like ability. Let's make choice of our future an children's future. Let's get information about the candidates that go deeper than a Colgate smile. The Media cannot rule people. God in his infinite love and holiness already does.
Psalms 118 says :
8It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
Amen. God bless you and your family
