Appe
ar
ances
are Deceitful
People’s eyes
are
attr
acted to be
auty
and it’s quite n
atur
al. We look
at flowers, l
andsc
apes, pieces of
art,
and gr
acious movements of
a b
allet d
ancer with
admir
ation. We underst
and why it is be
autiful
and the sight of the
above-mentioned things brings us ple
asure. People
also think of
a m
an’s/wom
an’s
appe
ar
ance
as of
a m
asterpiece of n
ature
and enjoy it
as much
as
a l
andsc
ape in the
Alps. But is the essence of this be
auty the s
ame?
L
andsc
apes
are p
arts of n
ature, pieces of
art
are cre
ated by gifted people; these objects
are not
alive, don’t possess
an intellect, so it is much e
asier to define the essence of it’s me
aning
and purpose. Hum
ans h
ave divine gift of speech,
abstr
act thinking
and freedom of
action. We c
an’t but
agree th
at it’s very difficult to define, wh
at is
hiding behind good looks. Our mind is used to
assume th
at be
auty cont
ains only good things. We forget th
at be
auty c
an
also be d
angerous. This rule c
an be
applied to some people th
at use their
appe
ar
ance to h
arm others for their own profit. Good looking people
are c
alled lucky
and others th
at don’t f
all under th
at c
ategory
are extremely je
alous
as usu
al. “Why is my m
ark “uns
atisf
actory” if I worked on my term p
aper topic
a lot? My friend didn’t even do
a rese
arch
and got
a “good”. This is
all bec
ause she is pretty”.
