Reply:It's the nature/natural debasement of man (woman) to want what is 'pretty' and 'fine'; to have what is considered excellent and untouchable on our arms- to have someone else 'desire' what we have. Strictly the deepest greed and selfishness of mankind. This is not to say that those who are beautiful cannot be 'deep' in their thoughts and spirits, their caring for people, etc., but the really, really, pretty people spend a lot of time making themselves that way because they know a certain percentage of men and women will 'pay' the price for having 'that'.

Reply:because its not an illusion. its skin deep, as you said. as long as ur little princess doesn't get into a car accident, get burned in a fire or get old, ur gold.
Reply:because most people beleive that what you see is what you get. thus, people fall for things that look nice, instead of things that are nice.
