The article "Appearances are Deceitful" is about writing, it has been created by Daniel Hunt.
People's eyes are attracted to beauty and it's quite natrual.
We look at flowers, landscapes, pieces of art, and gracious movements of a ballet dancer with admiration.
We undrestand why it is beautiful and the sight of the above-mentioned things brings us pleasure. Poeple also guess of a man's/woman's appearance as of a masterpiece of nature and appreciate it as much as a landscape in the Alps. But is the essence of that beauty the same?
Landscapes are parts of nature, pieces of art are created by gifted people; these objects are not alive, don't possess an intellect, so it is much easier to define the essence of it's meaning and purpose. Humans have divine gift of speech, abstract thinking and freedom of action. We can't but agree that it's very dfificult to define, what is hiding behind good looks. Our mind is used to assume that beuaty contains only good things.
We foregt that beauty can also be dangerous.
This rule can be applied to persons that use their appearance to harm others for their own profit. Good looking persons are called lucky and others that don't fall under that category are extremely jealous as uusal.
"Why is my mark "unsatisfactory" if I worked on my term paepr topic a lot?
My friend did not even do a research and got a "good". This is all becuase she is pretty".
No matter what your term paper topics are and how well they are worked at, there still will be someone, who is way more successful than you're.
That is a usual way to guess. In most cases tohse who complain are right. But we want to draw your attention to the fact that "pretty" doesn't necessarily mean "good".
This statement can be easliy proved.
What we have to do is just a little psychological research. People are in the habit of usnig everything they possess in order to reach success. Pretty face and nice figure can also be used.
There's nothing bad in it, of course. We see famous movie stars and celebrities doing it every day. The story is totally difefrent in everyday life.
People who are attractive get used to the attnetion and admiration. They get proud and guess that eevrything that they reach is due to the way they look. People who are attractive use their looks to get a job, to be promoted, to be excsued from doing something they don't want to. The only inconvenient thing for them is authority that they create. The atmosphere aruond them can not be ruined in any way. Once the reputation is ruined, nice lokos will not help any more for they don't matter from no on.
But three is persons who are equally pretty inside and outside.
Such persons are pride of the society and are repsected greatly. Every one of us knows a lot of examples of above described phenomenon; there's no need to do it here. It is qiute possible that persons can change so appearances won't matter anymore. The article is meant to help those who suffer from such discrimination to improve their situation, and those who want to start a new life forgetting about their past abuse of own appearance. Beauty is meant to serve to greater good, so a pesron always has a choice.
And it is: to be good and respectable, but use fair ways that sometimes can be hard, or to go the easy way of manipulating persons by using your gift, such as apeparance. As for those, who suffer from being "one out of the crowd", one can advcie to show that you're special in a different kind of way. There must be a special talent that makes you a cerdit to your parents. Anyhow, we are to celebrate beauty, if it deserves it and to try to get it on the right track if its driection is messed up.
