There is a girl named Yan Rujing in the program. When asked whether she wanted to look good or smart, she chose to look good without hesitation. Cai Kangyong asked her why, and she said (in general): On the surface, this question is whether you want to look good or smart, but it's not. This question is asking to what extent you choose to be beautiful and stupid, or ugly but smart. "I probably learned, what is stupid. What are the characteristics of stupidity? People who often don't know the situation, we call her stupid; We call a person who often does something wrong a fool. People who often do wrong things and don't know where they are wrong are called stupid. This is the characteristic of stupidity. What happens when we substitute these stupid features into beautiful people? Do beautiful people really need to be smart? You really don't need to be smart. You are good-looking and can get a lot of work convenience in the company. If you do something wrong, sometimes you can get by if you look good. These are the benefits of beautiful people. Now if I tell you, I can't relax. I want to be smart. I am not beautiful, but I am gentle and considerate; I'm not beautiful, but I'm fine. However, we overlooked one thing. She is ugly, but at the same time she is smart. What does this mean? This means that she deeply knows that her biggest weakness is ugliness. No matter how hard she tries to convince others, she will never comfort herself. Ugliness is ugliness, and you know it best. "
Whether this passage is right or wrong. In fact, there are many points worth refuting. But the argument got me thinking. Cai Kangyong said directly that he felt that this was not only a society that looked at faces, but also a society that looked directly at them. The face is the simplest. After reading the face, you may see the picture, and after reading the picture, you will see the income. Anyway, you will see. Looking at the face ensures that we can have a good impression or a sense of distance on a person at first sight, which is the laziest and most economical criterion. I won't have to take the test on the contents of your four books and five classics. I don't need to ask about your growing environment and background. I have made a basic judgment on you in the dimension of face value without even talking to you. This process may take at least 0. 1 sec. Different people have different reactions to whether stereotypes or even prejudices will be formed in the future.
I don't think there is anything wrong with looking at the face itself. Whether from the perspective of improving future generations or from the perspective of aesthetics. People who look at faces should not be the target of attack. Because the premise is that we didn't say that this is a society that only looks at faces. Talent, personality, knowledge, hobbies, these are the highlights of people you can't see from your face. And face value are not in the same category. A person is ugly, but she is very talented. Or, an ugly person, but she has a good personality and is very kind to people. These things are very important for people who don't stop at superficial value. If you only look at the face and ignore these creatures, I can say that you lack a lot of interest in life, or even more intensely, you are a superficial person, a person who has not escaped vulgar interest. Since the development of human history, we have all kinds of standards to judge a person, not just the face value. People who go further will say that even if you are useless, unsuccessful and daring, you are valuable and worthy of praise only because you are human.
