appearances Alles en nog wat

Are you sure of what you see or are appearances deceiving?

wdym?

Deceiving ofcourse. Nowadays people use make-up and have plastic surgery. If that's not deceiving, then what is? I'm not saying people shouldn't mind their own businesses tho, if you want to go ahead.

I would say that we rely more on appearance to give meaning to things

if your talking about make-up; i totally dont like make-up

I think appearances are important but not as important as other things. So I have two examples:

- For school I wrap my books with nice papers. It protects the books in the bag. And it also looks nice and that makes me feel better. But of course the text is the most important for school. But if I do my best for nice appearance about the wrapping it is not harmful right?

- If we have guests coming in our house like colleagues of my dad or other people, my parents think it is important that we all put on nice clothes and try have a good appearance (not really make up because that is not really allowed except for my mom). But the appearance is important so you give respect to the guests and that you show they are welcome. But of course the visit is more important than the appearance I think.

So appearance can be important or nice. But that is not a problem if you know it is not as important as the other things. I hope that I explained it clearly because that is not always easy! 😛

I'm talking about appearance in general. If we are sure that what we see is real or appearances are deceiving
