Style more important than substance?
Not, really. Substance is what is most important in life, not style. Why? Because you can live a very stylish life, but life without substance is nothing, by the end of the day you will be just a living "person" not a real "human". Style is something that is part of substance. If you have substance you therefore will have your own style to live, to learn about every experience, to read books, to know people, to see life. Its about your substance how your life will be, not about the "style" your life has.
Writers, for an example. Every writer has a different style to create their novels, their jobs; either they are non-fiction, fiction, documentary, a journal, a diary, poetry, essays, etc. There are different styles that writers use to create their master pieces, style is what makes them different from other authors, but substance is what measures their success, not the style they write. Its the substance what you read, the knowledge they have, how they apply that knowledge or fictionary world into their job, so when you read it you are taken to another world, or to the place where the news are being developed, or to inform you what they are trying to share with you. Its the substance of their job what matters, style is something important, but not as much as substance. What it is inside is what makes the book valuable, not the style, style is just a plus.
Art is another example. There are many art styles, you can find a different style or way to creat art within the centuries, but what makes special those pieces of art are the substance their artist printed on them. What they were feeling, how they looked at the world or someone, how they felt the air, how they looked at some place and tried to make that feeling or impression live forever. They used their technique and their style to make it happen, but it is substance of things the reasone why it happenned.
Poverty and richness. Both different types of living, but both have something in common: Substance. It depends on who and what you are how you will live your life, you can be happy with all of the money, and without all of it. You can be empty or full of joy. You will might have the most glamorous style or the worst life style, but that doesn't depends on money, it depends on the substance of who you are, not your style.
Substance is everything. Is what makes us as differents and human beings, what makes the world a beautiful place. Style is a part of substance, but not more important than it.
