Outward Apperances

why is it so important to look good?? and that too not for oneself but to meet other people exacting standards. I saw a show the other day on television...the whole concept revolves around the weight loss of some extremely obese people. The thing that got me thinking was that these people did not want to lose weight for health reasons but most of them wanted to do so, so that i could impress people, av girlfriends/boyfriends etc.

Its not that i am against the loss of weight etc. but what i dont understand is the obsession with looking good.. and that too not for oneself but for the sake of others... And we as a society also stress a lot on looks.. i always find people commenting on other people's appearances. Everyone wants to be fair. Its as though skin colour would make you a better person.. make you more acceptable etc etc..(all the black v/s white stuff)

We are a society obessessed with looks. I just can't fathom( i really wanted to use this word) why. Clothes, brands..etc

a complete ass may swagger in branded clothes as though he owns the world. While noone will even bother to talk to a guy who may av the brains and heart in the right place just cause he doesn't dress well,

well as i always say its a funny world i live in.
