The importance of appearance and it’s consequences and ramifications in society is a phenomena that requires a nuanced and in depth understanding of human psychology and sociology, for one to really pick this thing apart and comprehend it, for it is often over-simplified, which it is not.

Your appearance in society will always matter and make an impression on whoever you come into contact with, which is why one must always take care of their appearance in society but not in the conventional way of molding your look to fit the status quo, rather to create a polished image that reflects your personality, your fashion tastes, your aspirations, your budget, essentially who you are through the visual medium. Most people complain that society judges the exterior shell to much, and it is true and will always stay true for multiple reasons that I will explain.

First of all, for all of those who complain about people giving them dirty looks or judging their perhaps less than par appearance I have one response, too bad! You guys need to look at yourself and put the effort required to create a good physical and personal appearance in public that reflects who you are! The reason why is because the world doesn’t have half the time needed to get to know each person individually so you gotta express accurately who you are or would want to be in 30
seconds or less with a wow appearance.

And don’t give me those excuses of, I don’t have time or good clothes cost too much or that your too lazy to put yourself together well in the morning because the fact that you may have a bad appearance will ruin or reduce your prospects at having a good career, a good social life, the good life in general.

For the truth is, we are all in some metaphysical sense, a “product” and we need to define this “product” to reflect ourselves so that people know who you are when they meet you and can judge accordingly. Because everyone is searching for a different “product”. So let them know what your offering.

But having a good appearance will never be full proof, which is why you need to try to also emulate who you are with your emotions, actions and ideas, your Chi or Prana for the more spiritually avid and if people continue to judge you wrongly, just - them and ignore them because you only want to know people who get you and who you are.

People, you gotta learn to take care of yourselves because if you do, you will feel better, look better and be healthier if you plan do to something about that pouch of unnecessary weight.

Humans like any other mammalian species are instinctual, well, to a degree for us since we are sentient. Yet our instinct is to judge by appearance, which is OK for you guys because your one step ahead of the game, you know people can be judgmental tarts and you have ready in your arsenal, an appearance that is put together, polished and accurately enough reflects like a mirror who you are whether your a bohemian chic, European sophisticate, casual intellectual, environmentalist or stay- at-home mom.
