page 3: the smileless shunned again.

mused @ 3:15 PM
was reading an interesting article in the nanyang chronicle the other day.
in a world where pageants judge one's beauty, what is true beauty.
where elections are based on one's looks, can that really gauge one's true ability?
where first impressions count, the beautiful and charismatic win.
in a week's notice, you are supposed to vote for people that will determine the events you will have in your hall, club, union. people you don't even know. people you will probably never know. and human intuition demands that you gloss over the ugly for the beautiful people. the outcasts for the charismatic.
maybe they weren't born beautiful, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be given a chance.
maybe they are naturally defensive, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be given a chance.
maybe they are not local, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be given a chance.
and the talk that we are a meritocracy.
is it a crime not be beautiful?

or do they not smile cause they see the shallowness of this world?Labels: random ramblings, school life
