It is only shallow people who say they do not judge by appearance. This world is tangible and visible world, we are humans and too 'humanly stigmatized' in seeing. Of course we dream of transparency, and transparency is most liberating. To experience the luminousness of someone, of people being what they are; that is the greatness. But deceit is what we practice every day, even to ourselves. Are always enclosed in this terrible varnish and carapace of false familiarity with self and world, which is not only hard to break through, but will be always there. These burdens of pride. And pretence. And artificiality. Cease imagining that one can be truthful, but realize that all of us are hypocritical fakes. Only when one has done this realization that perhaps it is possible to move into a more genuine affinity with mankind. There are burdens we must carry together.
