So a strong theme of what we have talked about in womens' studies is the ridiculous amount of effort we all (men and women) put into the way we look; and not even for ourselves, but for the acceptance of others.
My friend sent me this video today, totally out of the blue, and I find it to be a perfect explanation of what we are really doing. With all the emphasis the media and society put on us to be physically "acceptable," we lose sight of what is actually important.
So, enjoy:
Remember that while appearance is sometimes important, it is not everything. What is inside you matters: your passion, your kindness, your intelligence, your humor. Develop these, because as you age, your skin will decompose far quicker than your personality.
