Mirror or River

What's your choice???

   So this blog recounts a small talk among my hallmates during our hall day practice, centering over this particular question, " What holds more sway, one's inner beauty or appearance?"

Sowmiya expressed her stance suggesting that men, in particular prioritise women's appearance over their inner beauty. She says, "Women tend to prioritise character and personality. They will never go for looks. Women say, 'I'm attracted towards his character and personality". But men love women just because they are women. Even if they approch "the not so good looking ones", they find something that's beautiful in them, rather than talk about her character. They'll say, 'Her eyes are beautiful'....or 'Her hair is long and lovely'."

Celsiya says, "Regardless of anything, people are attracted to one's looks  and outfit, as at that moment, they are static. No one can determine if someone is a good person or not, just by seeing the other in a few meetings. As time passes, they'll find themselves attracted to one's character, way of talking,etc."

One of my senior, Pon Dharani, points to the entertainment industry and says that in movies, the hero falls in love with the heroine in his first sight and she turns out to be pure and good. She also talks about the difference in appearance between the female lead and her friend, with one being good looking and other pale in comparison.

Not missing my roomie, Jomisha's perspective. She says, "Men fall for beauty, while women fall for flirty words of love". She also says that from her perspective, few men know how to persuade women. 

Gifty says that be it friendship or relationship, what comes first is looks. People tend to ignore the 'not - so - good - looking' ones and befriend people who looks good. But after sometime when they realise they aren't good... the situation becomes chaotic.

I heard someone saying people are either mirror or river. If they are mirrors, they will be clean and clear, showing you what you want. They are opaque, just like the mirror you can't see through it. If they are river, just like river water, they won't be clear looking but you can see what's inside.

So pick your choice today.... MIRROR OR RIVER!!!
