It's amazing that something like a 1 cm difference in how far apart your eyes are can change your entire life experience. Though it's something I try to fight in myself, it's true that we treat people differently based on looks. Pretty people get smiled at, get gifts, others compete for their attention; normal people are treated with indifference and are overlooked; ugly people are avoided. There's nothing fair about it, and not much we can do about it. I feel happy and lucky my own children are good looking, I know their lives will be better for it.

Tough subject.
