“But being good-looking has its own penalties. The public will not let a comely face walk by anonymously; it must find out who owns it.”
- Gregory Maguire
I read this yesterday & I just couldn’t ignore it, because there is some truth in it. Your own face could be your worst enemy. I’m referring to genuinely good-looking folks, not the ones who are labeled good-looking by others for God knows what reasons.
The fact is…if you happen to be good-looking, what is your contribution in it? Nothing. Maybe it’s a plus point. Maybe it’s not. A beautiful face besides being intimidating also evokes the most ugliest of all feelings – jealousy in another human. And humans need a reason to stoop down; they’re all set to break the records of themselves & others. Some even dedicate their miserable lives to a cause that is not even worth wasting your time on, to begin with. But unbelievable methods are employed to destroy lives. And come to think of it, beauty is only skin deep. Nonetheless, penalty is the price you pay for something you didn’t even ask for.
Yeah I am a worshipper of beauty, but who is really beautiful. I have asked myself this question a number of times. I think if a person has his heart in the right place, then he is beautiful. In spite of all the ugliness around us, we do have beautiful humans, which is a good sign, but not enough.
