Yes, I think that is true as well. There is a sense in which how much we want to see someone, or what satisfaction we derive from being with that person, is experience as a whole, and only subsequently analyzed. I had a girlfriend, in college, who lived in Wilmington, Delaware, and occasionally, on holidays, I had to go home and then travel to meet her. Sometimes I would take a bus, and then wait around the bus station for awhile before she came. When I would finally catch sight of her, she would shimmer, I would be so glad to see her, especially if she were very glad to see me, so that we started on a positive note. This had little to do with how good she looked, since it occurred even when she was buried in a parka, but everything to do with how happy I was to see her. Anyway, it would not be unusual to assign causality to "looks", when one has such a positive reaction to someone which is not strictly inspired by them, insofar as the delight is associated with sight.....
