Appearances

Be free. Easier said than done. We live in a world where appearances are the most important thing. The outer shell is what counts, what people see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears. Not necessarily physical appearances but appearances. How we appear to others. So what of the people with depth? The introverts; too solitary for public expression and the extroverts; often misunderstood for too much expression. Where can we find the even balance? Where can the people with depth go, to express themselves freely? Ah.

Appearances. Some are so shallow; too captivated in the world of others and not enough in their own that they forget their own meaning, their own purpose. When people become too reliant on how they appear to others they lose their sense of self and act in ways which only appeal to the shallow world. Where are the people with depth who don’t look for acceptance but instead, look for ears, eyes, noses and mouths to connect with? Ears, eyes, noses and mouths that EMBRACE the depth of another being?

  1. We are never taught to grow or develop individually, thus we rely on others and their half formed opinions. Tis very wack. What your saying is vvvvv. true! "The outter shell is what counts" < because most people are nothing but an outer shell, sadly. Nice writing! xxox
