Beauty and the Real thing
Within the first 3 seconds of meeting someone, or even just looking at someone, you have made an opinion about that person. It does not matter that you have not said a single word. It is not something we can help it is something we just do. Because of this, looks can be deceiving. I saw a story on tv one time about this man, who even though he had an upper class life style, enjoyed to act like a hobo and travel across America. If you were to see this man one day on the streets, you would just assume he was homeless. The idea of him having a nice car and a huge house would seem impossible. But this is just an example of how looks do not always tell the whole story. Still though, people are too concerend about the way they look. Society is constantly telling us what is "beautiful" or what is "hot", and because of this people are always trying to reach that "perfection". Girls will buy makeup, a mountain of hair products , and more clothes than their closets can hold, just so they can feel pretty. (And because it's fun ofcourse) Even guys are the same way, they care about their looks just as much as girls. The way everybody cares about looks eventually effects who you might spend the rest of your life with. People say that they will date people for their personalities but most start to fall for the way a person looks first. It's just the way things are.

This blog was just brilliant. I have also seen the short documentary on that wealthy man. Do you feel you also unconsciously make quick judgments?
ReplyDelete@ Miranda: Thank you! And yes, I know I make quick judgments. It's only human. But I will still take the time to get to know a person, I wouldn't just be rude.
