Question: Is your identity and destiny decided by your appearance (gender, how you look like), or decided by your inner world (characteristics, spiritual)?
Critique 1
There is an interesting question still make people confused: is your identity and destiny decided by your appearance (gender, how you look like), or decided by your inner world (characteristics, spiritual)? In my opinion, I think both. But I would like to someone who define me by my inner world, because inner world is show who I am and what I want to be. There have two article to show what either appearance or inner world decided our identity and destiny.
First, on Kathy Wilson article “Dude looks like a lady” she wrote, Gender is the first thing we notice about other people. (Page 21) Can we guess that our identity and destiny decided by our appearance (gender, how you look like). I think it is true, and it is usually happen. Such as if we see a boy who voice is loudly, and has disorderly hair, mostly time we judge he has bad habit or he is a lazy guys. In fact, the boy is diligent and quite, because he has not time to focus on his appearance at that time because some issue. She also wrote, “What can I get ya, sir?” a clerk said. This was the first time they met, and the clerk though her look like a man. At this time, the clerk define her by her appearance. Otherwise, For close friends, we know each a lot, and we define each according to inner world, we more care about inner world. And for some people or stranger who we define them according to appearance. In our life, we have not a lot relationship with stranger, and most time we stay with our family, partner or close friends whom will define us according to our inner world.
There is a second example it show identity and destiny decided by our inner world for someone who we know, also it decided by our appearance for someone who don’t know us. According to article “Lucy Grealy, Masks”. The author wrote many time about people laugh at Lucy’s from Elementary-school to high school. I think those people define Lucy by her appearance. They didn’t even know her name, but they would like to laugh at her when the first time they met. Lucy was felt unhappy and alone without at home or stay with her best friends because those people who define Lucy by her inner world. Because they knew what advantage Lucy had that others did not have. So for some people who we don’t know that our identity and destiny probably decided by our appearance (gender, how we look like). If for someone who we know that our identity and destiny decided by our inner world (characteristic, spiritual)
In conclusion, define people from their appearance is a normally thing. We have not a lot relationship with stranger who usually define us from our appearance. But for close friends and family, our identity and destiny are decided by our inner world. But almost time we living with our family and best friends, as time passes they know who we are, they know us deeply from our inner world. Also, from these two article, I learn people should care about their own inner world that is a very important factor to make friends. In addition, if we want to know someone, that we need to focus on their inner world not just appearance.
