Is Beauty Only Skin Deep ?

Throughout the centuries the concept of beauty has been defined differently by different people.While most of the people agree that beauty is internal and one should look at the beauty of heart rather than physical beauty, for all practical purposes we tend to go with physical beauty while making first evaluations of people.The biggest tragedy is that in most of the cases its these first evaluations that we carry along with us for a very long time unless something drastic happens.It has been scientifically proved that even babies react in a more positive manner towards good looking people.In interviews also good looking people have undeniably an edge over the other applicants for the job.It does not mean that physical beauty is something bad but it does give competitive advantage for the one possessing it.We may argue endlessly over the validity of using physical beauty as a criteria for judging people but the fact remains that weather we like it or not we all use it.This is due to the fact that beauty of heart or the internal beauty is very hard to see or measure unless you know a person well.But there is no doubt in the fact that the world would be a much better place to live in if we can actually judge people using internal beauty more easily and that should be our criterion for judging people.
