Pretty People Really Do Have It Better

What makes you so special that you think that not only do we have to listen to you, we have to look at you as well?”

Often intensifiers masquerade as positives because we give successful people the benefit of the doubt. It’s the old joke that poor people are crazy and rich people are “eccentric.”

Beauty is very important

So it turns out that, as unfair as it may seem, symmetry and beauty can result in a more successful career, higher income, more social success, and a potentially easier life.

I’ve seen firsthand how aesthetics change people’s attitudes and behavior from the outside in.

Beauty may be nothing but aestheticism or a reprieve offered only to the privileged. I am not opposed to momentary reprieves, but beauty is more than a respite for a worn-out or self-indulgent soul. It is our recognition that something exists other than the projections and passions of our ego minds.
