I was trying to discuss people and people's perceptions of people. It started because person Duke is considered by some to be "charming."
As it turns out person A believes that evaluative judgements like "charming" or "interesting" are subjective, while things like "handsome" or "ugly" are objective. I disagree on the latter point - all evaluations are subjective. But that's not my point.
Person A says that she likes people to be charming. And she also likes them to be honest. This struck me as odd. Upon some thought, the apparent weirdness of these two concepts became clear - thought they are not explicitly contradictory, they are (almost always) practically contradictory: A person who is, at all times honest, will be thought charming by few (if any); likewise, a person who is at all times charming will seldom turn out to have been honest.
Now as I write another difference becomes clear to me. A person may be honest in a world devoid of other people. However, a solitary person can never be found to be charming, for there are no others to find him charming. Both can exist in a social world, but honesty does not rely upon society for existence.
There is, moreover, some doubt in my pen as to whether either, exclusively, is possible. I think not. Nor do I think either is desirable.
