Beauty and Brains

Beauty and brains? Some might say it’s possible, some might say it’s not. I, for one, say not only that it is a possibility, but also that it’s a fact. Beauty and intelligence can coexist in one man/woman. Let’s take for instance the saying that blondes are stupid. I find this affirmation to be extremely false, no matter what a misogynistic man would say. It’s absolute stupidity to think that hair color determines your IQ. A natural blonde can be a lot smarter than a brunette. So no, not all blondes are stupid! Moving on from the blonde regarding saying, we should mention the one that claims that not only blondes, but all women are dumb. At least, dumber than the men. Guess who might say such a thing? Besides the extremely frustrated, insecure and proud owners of more than a few complexes men, a very small number of people would go and say a thing like that. But don’t forget the fact that women have prejudices about men too. We say that if a man’s beautiful, then he must be stupid. If he’s not stupid then he must be aware of his beauty and therefore, a narcissist. If he’s not a narcissist and he is beautiful and smart too, then he must be poor. And, finally, if he’s beautiful, smart, rich and not full of himself, then… he does not exist! Why? Because he would be too good to be true. So, you see, men and women are equally prejudiced. Very well, you would say, but how can we determine one’s intelligence level? Mhm… a very good question, because people can be good at some things and pretty bad at others. One knows about science, other about literature and so on… you can’t judge all people based on the same criterion. We also say that dumb people are very lucky. It seems that this might not be entirely false. I’m not saying that based on a certain study, I’m saying that just from looking around me. Actually, dumb people seem to be the most relaxed, because they usually don’t realize the importance of things and therefore, treat them with superficiality. They are less likely to be overwhelmed with worries and to become frustrated. Whatever will be, will be, right? We have the tendency to look at a beautiful person and say: “She/ he must be stupid!”. We say that just to comfort ourselves and to avoid envy conquering us. I think that we should find the strength to acknowledge our own flaws and to feel good about ourselves just the way we are. No one’s perfect, you know?! So, give it a second thought before saying about a certain person that he/she’s stupid because you might have the surprise of discovering that you’re in no way better than that person. source news.softpedia.com True or false ?
