3. What is the difference between having a nice personality and being a good person? (What is a "personality" anyway?) Relatedly, what is the difference between having a nice lifestyle and living well? Do you see anything in common between the notions of "personality" and "lifestyle"? If so, please describe it.
Having nice personality and being a good person can have very common traits but there are slight differences which can make them be two very different things. A person with 'nice' personality can easily be judged as to being a nice person. However, having a nice personality does not always correspond to being a good person. You might have a nice personality where you get along with many people and be the joker of your class, but that does not mean that you don't go out at night and steal other people's car or hack into somebody's computer. Similarly to the previous question, having a nice lifestyle can be similar but very different with living well. One might have a nice lifestyle of everyone doing things for you and all you do it sit around and do nothing but do what pleases you, but does that really mean that you are living well? That person will never learn how to respect or put others before himself. I'm not referring to everybody here, however, is having a nice lifestyle going to make you a person who lives a life well? Personality is a major factor that affects one's lifestyle. If your personality is likable and congenial with others, people are going to want to be with you and support you through life. However, if your shy or you don't get along with other people as much, people tend to never notice you or don't even bother getting along with you at all which leaves you thinking that you have the worst lifestyle that anyone can have. But that's the part where life's not fair. Because a person with ‘nice’ personality does not mean they are a 'good' person, it's not fair that people like them and support them anyway. People in our world are so corrupted with their superficial views and judgment at things that chances for other people decrease just because of personality difference. We all have to admit, we are more attracted to things that glow and shine than things that are dull and blunt.

I think the words "good", "nice", and "well" are all really subjective because there aren't any set standards that are right. The standards differ for everyone because of different perspectives and thinking. But the fact that the world is corrupted is correct and we are bias in the way that we are attracted to appealing things on the surface rather than what is on the inside. I find that a person's lifestyle and personality are more the surface level factors of a person while the other two factors are deeper involving one's identity. Personality and lifestyle are factors that affect the molding of one's identity, but I think the other two factors are part of one's identity. I generally agree with what you say in your post but I don't believe there is a set standard for determining what's good, nice, or well. Each word is so broad and general that it's hard to know if it is indeed what it is.
