A person can be trained to appear to be any form of civilized behavior. However, this means nothing in regard to what they really believe. Beliefs held in the heart I consider to be the substance of a person. They come from really awful experiences combined with nuturing love of friends and relatives. Without trials in life often a person never develops any substance at all and just becomes another fake person walking around like most people tend to be without strongly held beliefs other than personal survival at whatever the cost to others or to self.
So, though form will make you appear to be one thing when you are nothing really, substance without any form is also beautiful to someone who values substance over form like me. But, form has more to do with physical survival and substance has more to do with your inherent value as a person here on earth.
