As seen in some previous posts there are huge debates on beauty and how it is a form of status, etc.
What do you miss if you are not in that bandwagon? I'm trying to guess.
a) Some (or a lot of) attention by the opposite sex.
b) Few freebies as told by Cameroon Russell.
c) A little quicker rise in the office.
d) Better chances of being hired.
e) More random people are likely to help you if you need help.
f) A lot of beautiful photos to upload on social media.
g) Clothes which look gorgeous on you. (jewellery and makeup included).
h) Better acknowledged at parties.
i) A good chance at finding a good looking, romantic partner.
Also there are 2 types of beauties.
Some people are beauties without any specific talent or brains.
Some are so lucky, they are talented as well.
The former people are dealt with easily by the society. You have to just find some faults and keep gossiping, in an effort to bring down their perceived value.
The second lot is difficult to deal with, especially since they are talented. So you keep telling yourself that these ones are "gifted" or have "undue advantage" and that is why they are successful. You simply deny that they have talent because that is too much to take. You cannot accept that they won the genetic lottery and the talent lottery. That is horrible. Such people should not exist. So, you throw barbs and prick them at every possible event. You try to silence them, undermine them. Do whatever.
These problems exist for any talent. If someone has something that we'd like to have, it gives rise to jealousy. But, how does one deal with jealousy?
The practical ones keep improving themselves. They hone their skills so that someday, they will be the best in their field.
The crooked ones will conjure up new reasons to dig graves for others.
But, beauty, presents a little unique problem. You cannot buy it with hardwork or money. Usually you are born with it and you need to accept it. But, plastic surgery probably changed the whole table. It made people aspirational. It promised to make everyone beautiful. But to a majority of the people, it is an unfair thing. Something that is of value but it cannot be got with hardwork and money. So, it irritates them probably. Some people are not even aware that they are irritated with this fact. It causes them to behave badly.
After reading all the articles, I understand that it is such a biologically tied thing. All these hard wired stuff are really hard to let go. They affect us in ways unknown to us..
So, if one is indeed affected by things outside of one's control, we need to find innovative solutions.
