Do People Really Care About Inner Beauty Or Are They Lying?

The mask of superficiality in a society obsessed with appearances

We live in a world crazy about beauty.

It’s like we’ve all lost our minds!

We look in the mirror and what do we see?

An imperfect person. But does that matter?

Society says yes. And us? Well, sometimes we believe it.

Are we victims of unrealistic standards or silent accomplices?

From childhood, the world screams at us: “Be beautiful!” Social media, magazines, ads everything pushes us towards a perfect image. But that image? It’s as real as a unicorn dancing ballet.

We grow up believing our value is in our face.

How crazy is that?

And how many times have we heard that phrase?

“It’s what’s inside that counts.”

Is it really?

Or is it just something we say to feel better?

Does physical appearance really matter or is it a social illusion?

Let’s be honest. Looks count.

At work, in love, even when asking for directions on the street!
