Feeling and liking run on the same track, and neither has to be persuaded. The native is welcomed everywhere, settles children and animals without trying, and is generally described as lovely by people who cannot say much more than that about them. Domestic life tends to be pleasant even when circumstances are poor. Food, cloth, music and company are enjoyed without guilt, and the enjoyment is infectious, which is the greater part of why the native is invited back.
Because none of it was ever a struggle, none of it is examined. Ask such a person how they defused the situation at dinner and they will say they did nothing, and they will be honest, and they will be useless as a teacher. The complacency shows up as a preference for the pleasant over the true. Difficulties in the household are smoothed rather than settled, small unfairnesses are absorbed for years, and the native can reach fifty having avoided every necessary quarrel of their life without ever noticing the avoidance.
The contact improves sharply under pressure it did not ask for. A hard marriage, a demanding craft, poverty, illness in the family; anything that makes charm inadequate forces the native to find out what is underneath it, and there is usually a great deal. Those who take up a discipline in the arts or in hospitality become quietly formidable, since the raw material was never the problem. The trine gives the gift and withholds the reason to develop it, and the reason must be imported from elsewhere.
