Does physical appearance matter in life?

When you see a beautiful girl jogging in the park, instantly you like to pay attention to her and just

give a second look. This is very natural as human beings have this tendency to notice good-looking

people, admire handsome actors like Bradley Cooper or the Indian hunk Hrithik Roshan as superficial

beauty attracts us.

Beauty is skin deep too! As we get to know people, their behaviour, attitudes, good habits tend to draw

 us towards them. We are drawn to their personality which can also be their inherent qualities.

Superficial appearance can change as one ages.No one can defy the ageing process and succumb to it.

 But a person’s exemplary qualities are always noted.

Princess Diana was a charming lady known for her compassion and the connection with the poor,

needy and bereaved. Even to this date, we remember the fact that she held hands with Aids

 patients making people realise that it is ok to touch them as it's not contagious by doing that simple act.

She is remembered for her kind heart and humanity.

Appearances can be deceptive-

A person may speak as sweet as saccharin but his intentions may not be the same, he may be

 backstabbing or double-tongued. He may pretend to be a good wisher but in reality,

he may be a gossip monger.

A person can be gauged by his inner beauty which is permanent and everlasting.

Don't gauge a book by its cover.

Physical appearances only matter in the glitz and glamour world like acting, modelling

where we go by the face value. Celebrities endorse brands and need to look feminine,

sensual and appeal to the audience. Actresses like Deepika Padukone are known for

 their flawless appearance, bewitching beauty and stellar performances too.

In real life, situations don't get carried away by looks alone as it can be a dangerous proposition.

The character of a person matters the most in long-standing relationships.

Physical appearance intimidates but people like Sudha Murthy who is a woman of a substance known

for her minimalist approach dazzles like a diamond in a dark room emanating her dignified presence

always known for her goodness and humanitarian interests.
