Why Aiming To Look Good?

I keep wondering, why do we do all these things we do to look good? The rate at which we just want to look good is alarming and it keeps running through my mind the mystery behind looking good. Am I really guilty of this age long act? Cos everytime, I find myself trying hard to look good.

Some days ago, I went to barb my hair, the same hair I'd barbed barely two weeks ago had grown to a certain point I just felt should be trimmed. Along the line, I heard someone asked at the back "why do we look good?" I kept pondering on the need to look good.

I felt every ounce of that ounce of every bit of that statement and just wished I could answer it right there but the more I tried giving an answer, the more confusing I became. I went back home and kept on asking myself this question, even the food we eat, we make it nutritious so it could provide our system with the necessary nutrients it needs to stay healthy.

Does it really make any sense that I don't even know why I have to look good? Since I don't even have anyone to impress, please don't dont get me wrong, I understand we just want to be handsome/beautiful but why? I heard we are all made for somebody, so why bother looking beautiful? Am I just being weird thinking this way?

Today, I went to this female saloon and still saw some cosmetic stuffs and these are for extra beautification, I mean, do we have to go over this just to look good? Does it really matter how we look, can't people just take us the way we are?

I have heard of number of people doing some surgeries worth thousands to millions of naira, does it really worth it? Why spending this huge on a body that will one day decay and no one will remember again? Like, why do we have to do all these on the body that living eternally is not guaranteed?

Right now, I just need answers and I just wish I could get them because it's really running through my head and getting me restless, I just want answers to be relieved because at some point I am beginning to feel there is no need for all these.
