How important is it to have a good look?
Well, I just throw the question out there but come on, everyone knows that it's rhetorical. Still, when I said it out loud, people would say, look is very subjective and beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Get real.
Love
I'm very much a virgin on this issue. I thought I've read enough books, enough movies and enough stories to understand it. Still, there's no one story of love. They create so much drama that I think it's overrated. For a beautiful thing as such as love, shouldn't it be simpler? It shouldn't cause any pain right? It should be simpler. Definitely.
Truth
The truth is, what is the definition of truth? Even different dictionaries have different interpretations of truth. So how can one define truth? The truth is, I think truth is overrated. The truth is, I think truth is subjective. One truth to one's eye, is a lie to another's ear. Can you really tell if you are telling the truth? How do you know if you are telling the truth? Seeing is believing, but what if there are three different sets of eyes and they all believe different things?
Truth, love and looks; these are the first thing that popped into my mind when I think about them. I could be biased. It could be heavily influenced by my current state of mind. Still, they are important enough to me that I seldom think about them.
Nevertheless, I want to hear what other people are thinking about them. So, I am calling all the bloggers out there to share your thoughts or maybe stories or anything at all that you can think of, of truth, love and looks.
Some of those who are on my bloggers list, ksyu, judd, fadhil, Sari, Asrif, Syu, Ainur.. those who are not on that list(cause i'm too lazy to update my layout, but I frequently read your blogs =D), Kak Amy, Lina Ideris, Ayaz, adik, Yie, Faiz.. And some people who I think have a blog, Sheila =P...
I want to know what you think. Really.

- My brother told me to take a personality survey when I asked him. I don't really know actually. I have been digging in for many-many years hoping that I like the person that I would found. So, I guess I am someone who is searching for herself and while doing that, I met many beautiful souls that I call friends, whether they like it or not. :)

Love - Is a beautiful thing. Even if it hurts, it is still the most beautiful thing. It is because the meaning we put on love. We put and add huge meanings and emotion to the word love, and that create all the beautiful things in the world.
Example - If someone left a chocolate on top of your laptop.
If you know that someone, you don't really like and you know to be clumsy and who drops everything, you would scold that person to be more careful, and tot that the chocolate might melt and destroy your laptop.
If you know that someone, is the someone you love and someone who knows you work really hard and still appreciates you for that, you would feel loved and sweet and nice and many more emotions that come with it because that person understands that you would go to your laptop first before opening your refrigerator, and left a beautiful sexy sweet thing like a chocolate on your laptop.
Good Looks - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is hard not to generalise that people's take on beauty are fake and only on the outside. It all comes down to out own insecurity that we feel we are not beautiful enough for others to see and say that we are beautiful and thus fall madly inlove with us instead of other air-brushed models.
The thing is it does come from the heart and the fact that you know yourself.
But still why does it seem like only the good looking girls take away all the good guys and why do we hate them and say that these good guys are stupid and blind and sees that good looks are only in the outside. The thing is, if you know these good looking girls - they are awfully nice and sweet, the more reason it is hard for us to hate them and thus we refrain ourselves from knowing them and stick to hating them from afar.
They are nice and sweet because, they don't hate themselves, they have confidence.
We on the other hand, hate ourselves at times for being overweight, having those extra fats at places you wish others would not be able to see, for having a weird shape for a nose, for having too much pimple scars on our face, and thus making our self confidence go a little lower than it should.
How can others see our beauty when we ourselves are not totally happy being in our own skin.
Tanj,
I'M IN LOVE! It was love at first sight and I never thought that it would happen to me, of all people.
So, in response to your blog entry:
Yes, LOOKS are important! But what is beautiful to you may not be as beautiful to others. And that, my dear friend, is very true. No kidding! The question, however, is, do you care that others think that so-and-so is ugly whereas you find him the most beautiful creature on earth? If yes, then you have a problem there. If not, then move on to the next thing, LOVE.
Yes, I now know that LOVE is such a simple thing. But it is us humans that like to complicate stuff. I can't elaborate further on that. You have to experience it to really know it.
As for TRUTH, although it is important, it is less so than trust. Right now, I choose to trust and believe. I hope it will work out for the both of us.
Well, wish me luck!!
@ayu : nicely put,babe.. though it does sound a bit psychiatrist talking.. u r turning into one!!! =P and yes i agree with pretty ones are usually too nice to hate, damn!!!
@Sheila : Sheila, oh my god, I am soooo happy for you!!!!!! and yes, u r so head to heels in love.. jawapan kau tu penuh dengan bunga2.. hehe
Hmm, responding to your panggilan pulau on this matter ( i think I know what I'm supposed to comment on tapi kalau salah tu ampun beribu ribu ampun):
Good Looks:
Good looks ni different from attractiveness. Yes, if one's pretty then perjalanan hidup dia senang sikit la - ramai orang senang nak suka. Tapi ada jugak jenis orang yg tk semua agree die tu cun, tapi ada X factor yg menyebabkan dia jadi magnet social interactions. A lot of people termasuk dlm golongan ni.
Org cantik tk semestinya menarik. So I guess, we have to know what is it that makes us attractive, and believe in it!
Love:
Scope love ni kena besar sikit. It is imprecise to say that you have never experienced love. Person/ideas/dreams that enable you to be true to yourself worth to be loved. We've been there at some point of time. Love for men is just part of it.
For me, when you love someone/something, reciprocation doesnt really matter.It's nice to have it, but not a requirement to know exactly how love feels.
Truth:
Truth is beyond this world. To have tasted truth means that you're elevated to being a little bit closer to God. So I dont buy the saying that truth might be a truth to one's eye but not the other. Truth is rather universal. It is not tainted by perception.
Realizing truth is like a heart-attack: unexpected, fast, painful, and the result can make or break you.
So my take on all of them is that we should seek them all:
Good (clean)looks, so that we dont allow ourselves to doubt what we're worth (cos we worth millions and then some!),
love, cos we have so much to give so why wait? and last but never least,
Truth, for it is the purpose of our being and the world is pregnant with it, so go crazy to find it!
Well, I think this guy got it right:
On Truth:
“Truth is like a God-given mirror that is now broken. Man picks up the pieces, and each person then sees reflection in one of the pieces and thinks that he has seen the truth. The real difficulty is later, if he uses that piece to stab someone who holds a different piece.”

err...jetlag!!
:p
fadh
@syu : It's really good that it leaves me speechless. =)..
and i especially love the quote from that Iranian film director.. I couldn't agree more!
@fadh : Fadhil!!! so sad that i didn't get to see u.. so bila mau balik m'sia for good???
How important is it to have a good look?
It is not that important because it is nothing, only something which is fixed by God.
You are lucky if you have it, but if you don't, it does not means that you are unlucky.
Your luck might be something else that the good-looking person don't have.
Nothing to be proud of something which you got naturally without your hard effort.
It will not be important as long as you know how to make full use of your other good aspect, there are lots of aspects in everybody that can be developed and at the same time, make 'good look' looks like nothing.
Love
Love is wonderful and colouful.
Because it in love, there is lots of thing, much more than 'love'.
Full of ups and downs, that is what make it so colorful for me.
You learn lots of thing in love, not only love.
At the end, it depends on how you deal with love.
It might effect you positively if you handle it brilliantly and you might commit suicide if you are not that smart to deal with the 'downs' of love.
Setiap kejadian ada hikmahnya.
Truth
Too hard to be true. 'Berkata benarlah walaupun pahit'.
It is too, terlalu pahit sometimes.
Untill i myself use other student's name when i was caught by the security guard because 'panjat pagar nak fly'.
But because of love, now i dare to tell the truth.
Love drives me to stick with the promise, vow that i made.
And in the promise and vow, i must not tell lie.
Truth, love and looks; Tell the TRUTH when you LOVE something and when someone love something, LOOKS might be one of the factor and it is only a minor factor.
Voilà je les ai répondu!
