Hmmm. Good points and well taken. I have been thinking about this a good deal, myself, in the past day or two. Yes, I believe appearance matters a great deal to me. Appearances, in general, matter to me. I grew up being teased that I was somehow connected to Adolf Hitler because I was of German descent. I was actually born in Germany. It was always very important to my family that we looked decent; no matter that my father usually acted like a complete *ss no matter where he was or what he was doing. Always that tension, that unpleasant threatening garbage always coming out of his mouth. So I suppose it's no wonder people didn't like being around too much. I was ashamed to have anybody over, ever, I always went elsewhere with my friends.. and many years I didn't have any. Man I just got sidetracked again. I have no idea.. oh yes, appearances. They were important. They're important to me still. And I'm aware of how people use appearance to manipulate reality. But not everyone. Not me. But some people do.
