Why does God give some people good looks without them trying while others end up being ugly?
A2A.Karen Tiede, I totally agree with each and every word you penned down!Dear OP, God is not responsible for bestowing you with enhanced features, good looks, amazing skin, perfect hair, or desired build. You 'inherit' the above mentioned things from your parents. No living being ends up, as ugly. There's absolutely no benchmark of beauty. God never developed a measure that could mark people as beautiful, or not. It's we, human beings, who drew the line and created a bifurcation. Beauty is a relative term. From one eye to the other, the definition of beauty varies hugely.Don't play blame games with God. Shun these thoughts. They just tend to hold you back. Instead, plan on building a positive outlook in life.A pretty face, and a no-brainer can be put to no use. Whereas, a simple face, with a positive outlook, can bring about a major change. What means more to you? The ball is in your court, now. You be the judge!. :)
Do looks really matter in life? Do good looking people have an advantage?
Yes, looks matter.Don't tell me that you have not been bullied in school/college/office because of how fat/skinny/nerdy you look?Don't tell me that you were not made to stand in the back rows during stage performances in school, while a few beautiful faces were always there at the first rows?Don't tell me that you weren't judged by how you look, Fat : you must be eating your siblings’ food as well. Skinny : Don't your parents give you any food to eat? Fair : How much makeup have you applied?/how many visits of parlor do you make in a month? Dark : start applying sunscreen, fairness creams, blah blah blah…Don't tell me your first crush was not because of how cute/sexy he/she looks?Don't tell me when you imagine your future partner the first question that pop up inside your head isn't 'I really wonder how he/she will look like? 'Don't tell me that the person you loved the most didn't chose someone else who was more impressive than you in terms of looks?Don’t tell me that you don’t click on ‘Read More’ whenever you see a picture of someone good looking on Quora answers?Don’t tell me you don’t follow hot/cute girls/boys on Instagram and admire how perfect they look?Don’t tell me that you have not been rejected because of your looks?Don’t tell me that this little kid is famous because of his talent and not looks :Don’t tell me this girl did something extra-ordinary and became an overnight star because of that and not because of her looks and wink and expressions? :And girls don’t tell me your heart doesn’t skips a beat everytime he smiles ? :Don’t tell me that good looking people don’t have any advantage !Looks do matter in the society we live in and this is one of the bitter truths that we need to digest.Good looks matter but it is a good heart that makes all the difference :)-Unnati :)
What are some real-life bad habits that programming gives people?
1. JumpinessOften I appear to be doing nothing, when I'm actually mulling over some program flow in my head, or wondering what went wrong with that last SQL query, or how to break down that new proposed functionality into bite-sized pieces. You know the drill.And then someone comes up behind me and quite innocently calls my name or taps me on the shoulder. HOLY SHIT. (It's worse when I'm drinking coffee)Lately some of my younger colleagues have started thinking it's funny to startle me when I'm in thinking mode. Not cool, you little brats.2. Taking things too literallyYou guys have probably heard the joke about the programmer's wife, eggs and milk. Trust me, it's so real it's not even funny. For example, during interviews - Interviewer: Do you know how Paypal's IPN works?Me: Yes.(awkward silence)Interviewer: (patiently) I mean, I'd like you to explain the how Paypal's IPN works.Me: Oh! Right. Here goes...Luckily, interviewer was a fellow techie. And understood that I wasn't trying to be funny, or evasive.3. Expecting things to be literalI tend to get frustrated when I ask what I thought was a reasonably straightforward question with a Y/N answer, and someone gives me a long answer without actually answering my question.Maybe it's the result of writing so many functions and methods. You can define what output the method gives you, if at all. If you want a true or false, you define the return value as a Boolean. If you want a line of text, you make the method return a String.Ah, but human beings aren't wired that way.
How do I go my whole life without having sex?
I think if you can find a positive reason not to, rather than a bunch of negative reasons not to, it's possible. You're focusing on the negative now, so it's probably something you think about a lot. If you were to see a positive aspect to celibacy, like the Catholic priests who DIDN'T molest children do, you can have a fulfilling life without sex. But it sounds like the reasons you don't want to ever have sex have more to do with what you think of the act itself, as well as some serious insecurity issues, and that could be dangerous to yourself and others. I don't think there is a positive that you can attach to it at this time in your life that would be significant enough to last for the rest of your life. You could enter the priesthood or a monastery, those would probably be your best bets. Good luck . . .
Would life be different if you looked ugly?
I know it looks like a stupid question, but I often wondered that. I was always told I'm pretty, cute, etc... But what if I wasn't? I mean, I know judging by today's standards I'm considered pretty, but what if I suddenly became ugly for one day? Would people be less kind to me? Some of my relatives told me being pretty helps in life, but I find that sad. I know some 'ugly' girls that are the kindest people ever, while the sluts are the ones people stare to, even if they're ugly on the inside. I wonder if boys would be rude to me if I was ugly, because when boys talk (too) kindly to cute girls, it often means they're interested (I know by experience). I wonder if people in general would act so kind to me if I looked ugly. When I say so, people think I'm stupid to worry over that, but that's only because they want to hide the truth that if I was ugly, my life would be really different. I'm not the kind of girl that judges people by appearance unlike many, but people considered 'ugly' around me always seem unlucky and sad, which could be understood due to some hardships they face. I've had a friend like that, and I tried to cheer her up, but how can you do so when you can't understand their pain and never will? Of course, no matter which side you are, for me, people stay people, no matter their looks. But don't we live in a cruel world? Are 'pretty' people always thinking about themselves? Because it seems I'm the only girl trying to look differently on those things. It's horrible when a skinny, pretty girl plays the attention whore and says 'I'm fat' or 'I'm hideous' just to get attention from her peers, while they know what they have. That's why I couldn't ever be mean to 'ugly' people. Of course, I won't truly be able to put myself in the shoes of others, but I'm just trying to know if life is only or mainly based on how you look?
Why does nobody want to be friends with a sad-looking person?
Simple answer is that most of us have limited emotional resources. We also know intuitively that human relationships ‘feed’ off of each other. In the normal ‘give and take’ this works to the benefit of both parties because friendship, and engagement gives us a boost. Loneliness can rot the soul, which is something we also intrinsically know. Some people, by circumstance or taking a few hits can be emotionally depleted and if they show that on their face then they are ‘sad looking’ for justifiable reasons. Most often such people just need a leg up, someone to talk to (NOT MARRY) and they transform into the glass half full person they really are. But we all know that people can be ‘selfish’ and emotional attachments are no different. I myself funnily enough am attracted to such people because I cannot resist seeing what the package holds. I have found them in life a lot more interesting, it just takes a risk and usually I gain more from the encounter I think than they do (selfish of me I know). I once sat on a bench in Mackay next to an old lady who certainly was ‘sad looking’. 3 hours later, I missed my meetings because she, ‘a holocaust survivor’, riveted me with her stories. I laughed a lot as did she and she was actually very happy. She just reckoned her body had ‘drooped’ with the years giving her ‘that’ look. So nobody? What about you? I recommend it.
Is anyone else annoyed by people who are born into fame?
It does annoy me that people like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, who are only famous because their parent(s) are famous and/or rich, don't use their "celebrity" for good causes. I'm not saying that you have to donate all of your money to charity or anything like that, but damn. You don't have to work for a living, so do something positive! Go to school, get a friggin' degree and do something good with your life instead of live off your parents' hard work, for crying out loud! I mean, look at Ivanka Trump (The Donald's daughter), she has a Master's Degree and she works for her father, helping him manage his real estate holdings. Why can't Paris and the others do something with their lives besides party and be fodder for the tabloids?! **Jealousy has nothing to do with it, at least not on my end. I'm more appreciative of the things I do have because I have to work for them. I'm just disgusted with all of the focus that's been on them and not on real celebrities and people who are more deserving of it.
