The Appearance Industry

We are all products of the appearance industry.
Girls, especially. Poor those who are shackled to those fancy dress, clingy accessories, thick makeup, and shampoo-ad hair. Why do we care so much about our appearance? Is it not enough to look clean and healthy? Do we have to be stylish and beautiful like how the society has set the standard for us? We are all victim.

Looking further, the poorest victim of all is actually our celebrities. They always have to look the way we want them to be seen by us. When they look like something we don't want them to look, they're hated. Isn't it painful to be in their shoes?

On the other hand, we have a choice to follow the flow or stand ignoring the common views. But since we're indoctrinated ever since we started to be able to remember, our mind is already filled with appearance-minded thoughts. Like, no matter how carefree a girl is, she'll still say that those celebrities are beautiful. And as the time goes, it may be possible that she will someday want to look like how the society wants her to look too.

Is there any way to end this appearance evil-chain?

Is there someone who is really free in this world?
Let's ask the dancing grass~

Done~

All that must be done, is done now.
