I was watching a show on animal planet, and they were discussing how animals defend themselves by using poison, camouflage, etc., some even change their appearance to look bigger or dangerous. Then it was humans' turn, and you know what's our natural defense? Looks! Yes ladies and gentlemen, we don't have poison (well, only maybe when we speak), no dangerous weapons hidden in our bodies, no shell to protect us in case there's danger, we don't urinate to warn about a predator (unless we're scared and it's pretty embarassing) and of course we don't camouflage, even if we always wanted to. So apparently our looks keep us alive. That's why babies look so cute, no one would want to harm anything that looked that cute, and as we grow, we look for the finer specimens to procreate (of course we don't always find them!).That makes me think "how shallow can we get?" The fact that our mere existence depends on looks really humbles my pride in being a human. I always thought it was like the Hollywood movies, you know love will save the day, but it's not true, it's looks, well at least the majority of the time. G'bye, my shallow inhabitants, go get a manicure!
