Beauty is only skin deep. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty is shallow, it doesn’t matter, it’s vain and it’s what’s inside that counts. I know all that but I don’t care, because the beauty I once had is fading and it was – IS – still important to me.
She claims to ‘know’ that ‘looks don’t matter’ and that ‘it’s what’s on the inside that counts,’ then goes on to explain how she doesn’t actually ‘know’ what she just claimed she did because beauty is still important to her. Why play this stupid game with the platitudes you claimed to you ‘know’ then go on and contradict yourself? She could have appeared a lot more honest if she’d just said: ‘though it would be nice if they were, these things aren’t
true.’
Even her prepubescent daughters instinctively understand that beauty is more important than being clever, and she is somehow surprised by this?
She uses the platitudes as an attempt to show she is a good person then goes on to contradict them with every point she makes.
At least she was honest about the power beauty affords women, though the fact she prefaced that statement with the usual platitudes about how ‘looks don’t matter’ makes her look even more confused.
