Marie-José Perec
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Marie-José's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Marie-José Perec comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Marie-José Perec - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Marie-José Perec" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Marie-José a little better. This page describes the disguise Perec wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

She is a gentle, sensitive person with a deep understanding of people and a very tolerant, accepting, non-judgmental approach towards life. In a noisy, competitive atmosphere Marie-José Perec is often receding and withdrawn for she is not an aggressive, forceful person, and she intensely dislikes conflict. In fact Marie-José tends to be somewhat passive, to wait, watch, observe, feel and know much - but to act little. Letting things resolve or work themselves out in their own way, rather than directing or forcing her will upon them is often Perec's way of dealing with problems.

Marie-José Perec may have a deeply religious or spiritual feeling about life, not in the orthodox sense necessarily, but an intuitive sense of the immensity and underlying oneness of all life, which makes so many human aspirations seem rather unimportant. She needs peaceful surroundings in order to flourish, and periods of quiet solitude are essential for Perec's emotional balance and well-being.

Marie-José Perec is also very compassionate and cannot tolerate seeing any fellow creature suffer - be it human, animal, or even plant! As a child Marie-José Perec probably cried very easily and became quite upset whenever others were hurt, physically or emotionally. The world of Perec's imagination and fantasy was also very real to Perec, a place to escape to when the outside world became too harsh, demanding, or simply uninteresting.

Because she is very giving and forgiving, people sense Perec's sympathetic nature and gravitate toward her when in need. Often Perec will continue to give to people even when she realizes they are taking advantage of her or becoming overly dependent upon her. Marie-José Perec overlooks and makes excuses for other people's weaknesses, and for her own as well. Discrimination and self-discipline are not Perec's strong points.

Though she may be as intelligent as anyone else, she does not really have a rational, logical approach toward life, and trying to reach Marie-José through logical arguments is often futile. Her feelings, intuition, and heart, not her head, lead her, which may infuriate or bewilder Perec's more rational friends. Marie-José Perec certainly recognizes that there is much more to life than can be explained intellectually and categorized into neat little boxes, and Marie-José Perec has an open, receptive attitude toward such areas as psychic phenomena, telepathy, parapsychology, etc. She is not as structured and rigid in her attitudes as many people are, which enables Marie-José Perec to see many different points of view and to accept all of them as valid. This can lead to vagueness, uncertainty, and confusion on her part - or to a very flexible and holistic way of approaching any issue.

At times Marie-José Perec comes across as being rather intense and possibly manipulative or controlling. Or she may get involved in relationships that are "fatal attractions", where she acts out compulsive, intense needs and desires. There is a sexual, seductive quality to Perec's demeanor that others notice right away. This may either repel them or draw them to Marie-José Perec irresistibly.

Marie-José Perec can get by in life almost on her personality alone. There is a radiant, warm, attractive quality about Marie-José that others cannot help responding to favorably. Usually she appears confident and clear about who she is, and it is very difficult not to notice her or feel her influence when Perec is around.
