I was scrolling down my timeline when i came across a picture. It was of a girl. Photo had tagline stated "main kaisi lag rahi hoon?"(how am i looking?). yes she was awesomely beautiful. 1000's of likes and comment were there as a proof. Then 1 thing struck me.
Isn't this life all about beauty? Everyone likes and wants it because if you are good looking than what else matters. Everybody is behind you craving for your attention, dying to have a look at your eyes, deduce intelligence on general things, fantasize day and night about you.
If u ask to any people what they prefer, Beauty or Talent? The anonymous verdict will be Talent. But when they land to the world of reality from the philosophical one, we all know how they respond to those who are pretty. An enormous feeling of achievement of helping pretty people super cedes all others. That feeling when a beautiful girl/boy approaches to you is far more convincing then the awkward feeling when the people not convincing to eye approaches to you and try to be comfortable. Frankly speaking, we even fear being bullied by friends in such cases.
But the real question stands if they deserve such huge amount of attention and following. The same thing some people cant achieve in their lifetime by work is such a minor thing for facially attractive peoples. From the public queue to the queue of professionalism the good looking ones often get unfair advantage. Brain is important but beauty is seen as the cost of entry.
Its terrible yet true fact which rules our life. The love which we often claim to hold the balance of world is its severe victim. Beauty makes love biased. We never think twice whether the people soothing visually may not deserve all those hearts and feelings bestowed on them. Its what fuels up attitude because they are all on the benefiting end of those undeserved attention.
So,
Beauty may only be skin deep but in this world it seems deep enough.
Who wins?
Though we instantly get carried away by the details of what eyes see, their is always a line which separates beauty and talent. Beauty always seeks for help while talent offers it, beauty always craves for sympathy while talent is all about respect. The sympathy and respect may attain same height but the difference is the way to attain that. Beauty is always pulled upward by a thin thread while talent creates formidable base to success When a thread gives up, the baseless beauty falls so hard that it may not even get ground to stand.
For an instance, take a look at life of Vijaylaxmi Vadlapti widely known as Silk Smitha (famously portrayed in film The Dirty Picture). She made way up with her skin deep beauty but failed to make any props to hold her during her way down. Result was inevitable and disaster as expected.
At last, beauty is what others perceive. Its too volatile and fragile to depend upon. You can never direct others to make a view but we can choose or make which is best for us. Believe me, you do not need all those unfair advantage on your behalf if u believe all you got deep inside is enough to make others crave for what you are not how you look.
