Human Being or the Hypocritic being


Every morning while going through the newspaper I encounter at least 10-15 advertisements which boast of making your skin as soft as silk and your hair thick and dark as night. I know people who has readily agreed to burn a hole in their pocket for getting a thick mane through a hair transplant procedure.
What I don't understand is we do so much to take care of a dead tissue that is a physiologically a nominal part of our human body,but do we actually look after the parts that play an important role in our survival? Our heart for instance,we go for treatments or hair transplants for damaged hair,but do we go for treatments for a broken heart or do we actually stop smoking when we know that this activity is doing a permanent damage to our lungs.Do we stop thinking negatively and switch to positive thinking for so that we can have a healthy stress free heart!!We don't eat oily food or junk food reason being that it will result in weight gain and these might cause our skin to look dull,but how many of us really think this much before downing a pint of beer or expensive wine that too in a fine dining restaurant?
The core of all these deeds is we,human beings in the lines that what others think of us,our appearance,our lifestyle,we act under peer pressure,but we don't think for ourselves.We believe so much in outer appearance that we forget what we ought to be from the inside.When I am saying this I can quote an incident here which I happened to read in The Daily Mirror,the writer was the mother of an affluent socialite and she happen to visit her daughter's apartment wearing chappals.She was promptly stopped by the watchman and asked to return to where she has come from without being asked as to whom she wants to see and why.
So much so that,even in our daily lives we usually get attracted to people who are well dressed and fashionable irrespective of the fact that how they are as a person.This makes the saying apt that the world is a stage and we,the actors should know to play our part well wearing the apt makeup,because the audience is least interested in who is behind the mask,they are more interested in what they see on the stage.
