A Man Without DiSlikeS is Not
a Likeable Character

A man refined or sublimated beyond
capacity for simple, natural dislikes
is distinctly not likable character
Beneath the glossy surface of su
perior neutrality in minor things, he
may hide major hatred, fixed, un.
alterable enmity, irrational as the
jaundice and implacable as vendetta.
GIVE me rather the man of frank
though foolish aversions; the man who
protests that he knows nothing about
art but is quite sure of what he does
not like, and declines to be bothered
with it; the man who has no better
cause to give for his repugnancy to So
and So than that his mouth is cut the
wrong way, or that he talks through
his nose and pronounces programme"
to rhyme with ''pogrom. These are
pardonable preducies. They are to be
placed in the necessary, non-moral
region Of human life. They belong to
the domain of unaccountable reactions,
covered bv the classic quatrain.-
II do not love thee, Doctor Fell,
The reason why ! cannot tell;
But this alone ! know full we'll,
do not love thee, Doctor Fell"
Now. the subject of these famous
lines was an eminently respectable
scholar and prelate, dean of Christ
Church, and afterward Bishop of Ok
ford, in the seventeenth century. The
author of the lines was one, Tom
Brown, student at Christ Church, and
q vagarious fellow whom Addison char
acterized as 'of Facetious Memory"
Yet, am prepared to defend the .ir-
regular Tom Brown in his confession
that he dlsliked the established John
Fell without assignable reasons. At
all events, but for this whimsical
aversion the name Of Doctor Fell would
hardly have become household word.
So far, it benefits him. But what it
lid to handicap Tom Browns academic
:areer. we know not.
It must be admitted, for candor's |
'akc, that these unreasoned dislikes
ire not generally profitable in the af-
airs of life. They act as restraints
md inhibitions: whether wise or not,
ie alone knoweth that slloweth them.
