Once Ji Won and Juma were discussing about how we as individuals give a lot of importance to people’s opinions. Even as a child, Ji Won was always concerned about what everyone thought of him. It was always important for him to atleast maintain face, in any situation. Since he was appreciated for his good looks from a very young age, he had grown up to depend on his appearance to pull himself out from any challenging situation.
He asked Juma, “why are people so enamored by appearance?”
Juma replied, “our five senses provide us the ability to experience our world. But the sensory input from all these five channels is not equal. Eyes, our vision provides maximum input and because of it, we find that anything that appeals our eyes, attracts, and draws us to it. Though unfortunately, it is always short-lived.”
“What do you mean?” Ji Won asked.
Juma replied, “you see, the sensory input from all these five channels go to the ‘control & process mechanism’ which is our mind. Initially, the mind feels drawn to what the eyes see as appealing. But mind is very fickle, unless there is something deeper to keep it anchored, it tends to lose interest very fast. That is why we find that even though people date a person they find ‘attractive’, the marriages that last are not the ones that were based on looks but on some other deeper quality about that person, it could be their intelligence, their caring heart and so on…”
Ji Won thought about how he had always dated Korea’s most beautiful women, but after couple of evenings of fun, he had found them silly and boring. He said, “what you are saying makes total sense. I have seen it in my own life. Then why do we give so much importance to looks? Why don’t we pay more attention to other qualities in a person.”
“Because the allure of appearance is very strong. One either needs to have a strong intellect that can see beyond the appearance and know what is truly important or one needs to have gone thru pain and suffering after falling prey to good looks, to obtain the wisdom to see beyond someone’s appearance.” Juma said with a smile.
