When did you finally understand the phrase “looks can be deceiving”?

Question

VIVANT · Accepted Answer

As soon as I met a jerk who is attractive- it’s very early on in life. Next step was teachers who talk a good a good game about understanding and respect but are gossipy and fake have strong prejudice towards certain students. Next on the list was drs who are “first do no harm”trying but are so arrogant and cause so many problems by not respecting or paying attention to what you are saying, you almost die. Next down the line and probably the best most pervasive & ubiquitous example bc literally no one can escape this living in society, is politicians. The “for the people” talk gets them in then it’s the meeeeeee train all the way home.

Probably middle school all the girls had started wearing makeup and looked like Barbie dolls. I remember I had went to go approach one to make small talk but when I was only a couple feet away from them. I saw that the girl was bullying another girl. I remember she specifically told her “ if you want to fit in look better” then she walked away. That was 6th grade, people can be cruel.

I think I was taught this but never really believed it , until my horizons were expanded and I was mixing with some incredibly beautiful people , male and female , I couldn't quite believe how screwed up so many of them were , then we head to the professions Doctors in particular ( Oh man ) , what was presented on the outside was just not what was going on...

I really learnt that looks were just that looks and Status to a degree , same with teachers , professors , strippers , sports people , entertainers , never ending.

When I was in the Navy. You can give someone an officer's uniform and rank and responsibility and authority and they have no more common sense (and often less) than a concrete light pole.
