Stripped Away

Old, cliched argument, i know.

But what if we were all, stripped away from the superficial assets that define us?

A beautiful face. An enviable and lusted-after body. The gift of gab. A superior intellect. Money. Power. Talent. Charisma.

What are we to the world?

People say a person's personality is what defines him/her. A well cultivated lie, that. Almost a myth, legendary in its overtones of sickly sweet warmth and feel good bastadry.

Yet, a person in the eyes of the public is defined by these superficial assets, whether we like it or not. Is there a point in developing an agreeable personality that is dictated by society then?

Should we all stop trying?
