Why are humans so hung-up about physical characteristic variation?

We have become so critical of one another over the variety of physical characteristics we individually express that we begin to think all we are is just skin-deep, and that nothing of consequence occurs deeper.


That this is an incorrect attitude is what mostly has us at each other's teeth.

Can we give it a rest?

Skin deep matters about as much as that clouds change shape, and that nowhere on

Earth does the climate maintain within Β±1.5ΒΊC, let alone that none of us express as either black or white as my Crayola crayon set exhibits them.


Not to mention that none of us determined these differences by ourselves in any natural process when born. We are what we are by generations preceding us. Can't we just accept that and move on?

I completely disagree. And attraction [I presume you mean physical, since your attitude is "skin deep," of all reasons to have association with others, is at the shallow end of the pool. That's age & experience talking.

Does it have to do with what I said in the thread that I opened about aliens?


We just need that you talk bout why we are so hung-up about age. Lol.

Non sequitur.

I do not do Mafia games, and have never ever clicked on the prompt. Absolutely no interest in that whatsoever.

Curious, though, that some of us are fixated on the belief we can live in one another's heads. And whether or not you would start such a conversation as this is fine. I did. Live with it, just as I live with there being a Mafia section. I have never been a gamer. I got bored quickly with Pong, and virtually never touched another.

No, according to John Keats, writing of a Grecian urn, beauty is only half the equation.

Beauty is only skin deep but seen mainly through the eyes of the beholder.
