Why is appearance important?
Why does it play such a role in our society?
One has to look good or present him/her well.
Appearance is the first criteria for acceptance and rejection.
Why are we judged on our looks or what we are wearing without uttering a word?
Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.
— Benjamin Franklin
A smart guy like Benjamin Franklin also advocated for it. 🙁
Is it our laziness or the unlimited availability which resulted in this?
We have multi-billion cosmetics and grooming industry reaping benefits of human vulnerability. Loaded with advertisements and counseling, they are telling us what to wear and apply to our skin.
Why can’t there be a world which recognizes humans as we are? Why do we have to get into the zone of looking or wearing like someone?
Your beard, your shorts, and an unironed T-shirt has no place here.
Diogenes must be laughing from above seeing all this.
