Beauty Vs Brains. Is that even a thing?
“OH, SCREW BEAUTIFUL. I’M BRILLIANT. IF YOU WANT TO APPEASE ME, COMPLIMENT MY BRAIN” – DR CHRISTINA YANG ( GREY’S ANATOMY)
I am a very loyal fan of Grey’s Anatomy and i admire the character ; DR Christina Yang. when this statement came up during a certain episode, my jaw dropped. It hit home and i could say i strongly related to how she felt when she said this.
You hear a lot of times people talk about brains and give it a comparison of beauty. Its something that comes out quite a lot in almost all spaces of conversation. Commonly thrown to the female gender. Its worse when people have to come up with questions like would you rather marry a hot chic with zero brains who with not help your children do home work or marry someone ugly but brainy?
For the record, someone can be both, many people are both, look around you. Gone are the days when beautiful people swallowed compliments all day and lived for just that. More beautiful people are born daily. Infact, they say the beautiful are not yet born, and we know the future will not be any dummer.
Have you met someone hot and successful? its beautiful, its encouraging, its intimidating and we should all certainly strive to be that, and push our kids to be that and even more.
