How Your Appearance Can Be Deceitful
Unsatisfied with your own appearance? This is not the reason to think that you are an outsider. Beauty can sometimes show its hideous face, for it is not very common. One can learn a simple fact, that appearances are deceitful.
People’s eyes are attracted to beauty and it’s quite natural. We look at flowers, landscapes, pieces of art, and gracious movements of a ballet dancer with admiration. We understand why it is beautiful and the sight of the above-mentioned things brings us pleasure. People also think of a man’s/woman’s appearance as a masterpiece of nature and enjoy it as much as a landscape in the Alps. But is the essence of this beauty the same?
Landscapes are parts of nature, pieces of art are created by gifted people; these objects are not alive, don’t possess an intellect, so it is much easier to define the essence of its meaning and purpose. Humans have the divine gifts of speech, abstract thinking, and freedom of action. We can’t but agree that it’s very difficult to define, what is hiding behind good looks. Our mind is used to assume that beauty contains only good things. We forget that beauty can also be dangerous. This rule can be applied to some people that use their appearance to harm others for their own profit. Good-looking people are called lucky and others that don’t fall under that category are extremely jealous as usual. “Why is my mark ‘unsatisfactory’ if I worked on my term paper topic a lot? My friend didn’t even do research and got a ‘good’. This is all because she is pretty”. No matter what your term paper topics are and how well they are worked at, there still will be someone, who is way more successful than you are. That is the usual way to think. In most cases those who complain are right. But we want to draw your attention to the fact that ‘pretty’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘good’. This statement can be easily proved.
What we have to do is just a little psychological research. People are in the habit of using everything they possess in order to reach success. A pretty face and a nice figure can also be used. There is nothing bad in it, of course. We see famous movie stars and celebrities doing it every day. The story is totally different in everyday life. People who are attractive get used to the attention and admiration. They get proud and think that everything that they reach is due to the way they look. People who are attractive use their looks to get a job, to be promoted, to be excused from doing something they don’t want to. The only inconvenient thing for them is the authority that they create. The surrounding atmosphere can not be ruined in any way. Once the reputation is ruined, nice looks will not help any more for they don’t matter from now on. But there are people who are equally pretty inside and outside. Such people are proud of the society and are respected greatly. Every one of us knows a lot of examples of the above-described phenomenon; there’s no need to do it here. It is quite possible that people can change so appearances won’t matter anymore. The article is meant to help those who suffer from such discrimination to improve their situation and those who want to start a new life forgetting about their past abuse of their own appearance. Beauty is meant to serve to the greater good, so a person always has a choice. And it is: to be good and respectable, but use fair ways that sometimes can be hard, or to go the easy way of manipulating people by using your gift, such as appearance. As for those, who suffer from being ‘one out of the crowd’, one can advise to show that you are special in a different kind of way. There must be a special talent that makes you a credit to your parents. Anyhow, we are to celebrate beauty, if it deserves it and to try to get it on the right track if its direction is messed up.
