Searching for my Guardian Angel

Wednesday, February 15, 2006

Some days ago I was watching a drama series called “ 美丽在望”. The female protagonist’s script has made me ponder, “I do not need a man to look after me when I am old, sick and poor. All I want is someone who can accept how I look like, just the way I truly am.”
No doubt, the girl’s look is mediocre. As a result, the male protagonist was hesitating in marrying her. His peer was however telling him that beauty is just skin deep or 红粉骷髅 (well-powdered skeleton).
On the surface, it might appear to be true. But when one thinks deeper, this sentence is a total fallacy. As human being, we naturally incline towards fanciful packaging, breath-taking scenery and gorgeous people. No matter how little degree it is, we are still attracted to better looking people and are conscious of our own appearance. Although there is no economic value, we admire them like a fine art piece or a seductive wine.
On the other hand, to be less attractive is a misfortune. In this society, we are compassionate towards people who are poor, handicapped, less intellectually inclined. We even take pity of ex-criminals. But, we might scorn people with a gross look unknowingly. They can be acquaintance, normal friends but not a further relationship.
However, I will not blame the heaven to be unfair. If you are not born with a silver spoon in your mouth, work extra hard to earn the money. If you are not intelligent, study hard to gain more knowledge. If you are handicapped, strive to accomplish the other 99% you are capable of doing. Similarly, if you are not good-looking, learn to put on make-up, cultivate a good dress sense, go for diet/treatment/courses and whatsoever to gain both your charm and confidence.
Life is fair and beautiful given the chance to be born in this world. But红粉骷髅? No, unless we turn into skeletons.
