Why do I assume that people with good posture and good looks are superficial and shallow? The short answer could be "because most of the time, that's how it is". It isn't, however, like I am somehow inherently more cerebral and perceptive. No, the reason I grew up not thinking about appearances all the time is because I didn't like the way I looked, so when I thought about it, I felt lousy. When the good looking kids thought about appearances, they felt happy because that was an arena they were superior in. This lead to them thinking about it more of the time, which eventually made them used to always thinking about it.

The good looking kids aren't always shallow and selfish, though. If they have siblings, they are put in a situation where appearance doesn't matter as much, and maybe that contributes to more introspection, and more considerate tendencies. I guess the worst, then, is areally good looking only child. Thinking this way might alienate lots of good looking people with no brothers and sisters, but then again, they most likely suck to be around, so who cares? Yay!

To sum up: no one is naturally morally strong, blah blah, you can bring up your kids to be assholes or saints, it's nurture folks.

I don't know who the bee in my bonnet is.
