Beauty only skin deep?
Sunday, June 20, 2010
I was thinking about people being pretty the other day, and I realised that how pretty someone is, is representative of the way that they present themselves as a person – like the amount of confidence that they have and how they want themselves to be seen in your eyes. If you were to think about all the pretty people in the grade, they are probably all the confident girls (or boys) who know they are pretty and aren't afraid to show it. I think that everyone's appearances are equal, and that people aren't really prettier than other people.
How much effort they place on their appearance also makes a difference. Like, make-up, the way they wear their hair and even the way that they wear their uniform. Make-up really isn't a bad thing, and I think that as the years have progressed, more and more girls wear make-up to school. I don't know why guys are so against it sometimes – make up for girls is just the equivalent of guys waxing/gelling their hair. Having said all that though, some girls ARE naturally prettier than others, but that is like one out of a lot.
Being pretty is also comparable to intelligence. There are a select few who are naturally smart. And then there are the rest who just work really hard and appear smart. AND THEN there are those who are naturally smart AND work hard. And those who are really stupid and don't work hard (I'm not thinking of anyone specifically here)
