You Don't Know You're Beautiful; That's What Makes You Beautiful

Yeah, yeah, yeah not the first one to wax feminist (gender equity) with respect to this -- old -- and very catchy One Direction song. What gives me pause is how much I love listening to it, on repeat, instant good mood.

But just to be clear! You're only beautiful because you don't know you're beautiful. AS SOON AS YOU REALIZE YOUR BEAUTY, IT FLIES OUT THE WINDOW. Women! Make sure you bust ass in the bathroom in the early morning to get beautiful. But don't for a second act like you are aware of your good looks! That ruins the whole thing. What's that word? Demure? Reserved, modest, and shy. Modest but very beautiful. Eyes at GROUND! Get with the program, women!


Carole King has some words on the subject:
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel

You could interpret this as: internal awareness of your beauty is directly proportional to how beautiful you are seen externally, by others. That's more or less the exact opposite of our British friends Liam and the gang? I wonder who wrote that song and if they like it.

The end.
