For a homework assignment this weekend, I had to read a collection of essays (well four short ones) by Francis Bacon. In one of his titled "Narcissus; Or Self-Love", Bacon talked about how Narcissus lived by himself and one day saw his reflection and fell in love with himself. Narcissus then turned into a flower. Bacon went on to talk about how beautiful people tend to live a life of solitude and have only a few close friends. They stray away from the public eye so to avoid shame. Their few "close friends" are actually just admirers who talk them up and make them dumb. I think in reality, this is nothing close to what really happens. Why? For obvious reasons: people tend to gravitate toward gorgeous people. It's in their nature, and I don't deny doing it either. These beautiful people will get a bid ego and love the attention, but who's to blame them? I'm not saying there aren't good-looking people out there who aren't nice and don't have a big head, but the majority of them do. (Not to insult anyone out there!) But it's the truth! These people will soon gain an entourage. It's just what happens. Whether they want it to happen or not, it's just what happens in life.
