To Be Pleasant

To Be Pleasant

Being easy to deal with is an everyday, common expression; however, its opposite, being difficult to deal with, is better known.

All in all, this is a very revealing expression. In both cases, it conveys very much. These expressions denote qualities of being composed either of various virtues or of various vices.

If you are pleasant, you are wise, that is, peaceable and willing to yield, quick to forsake your self-will in daily life, flexible, not stiff and stubborn and obstinate, not insistent, quick to remember that you can remember incorrectly, hear incorrectly, or misunderstand something. You are quiet and meek. James speaks about the “meekness of wisdom.” You are caring and obliging, making no demands, and are characterized by gentleness, contentment, and thankfulness.

You absolutely respect other people’s conscience, their free will, taste, and viewpoints.

It is fair to compare such a person to a peaceful spirit that moves around inside and outside a house.
