Are you glad there are cameras and reflections? or would life be better without them?

Question

If no one ever really knew what they looked like would the world be a better place? How would life change? Assuming there was no way you could find out otherwise, without someone telling you, because they could be lying.

Answer 1

That's how the blind live. Imagine not even knowing what faces look like. Or anything for that matter. Vanity in the world would certainly cease to exist. And there would be more focus on the internal self and being a btter person than wondering if your butt looks big in your favorite pair of jeans. Humans in general are very visual creatures. I think it would do a world of good.

Answer 2

that's the way the Mennonites live isn't it?  

I could live without reflections...but photographs are like time capsules...

Answer 3

They're good for certain people.

Answer 4

No matter how many times I saw myself at 19 I still envisioned myself as five years old. No matter how many times I see myself now I envision myself as Harold in "Harold and Maude." Cameras and mirrors only effect women, apparently.

Answer 5

Answer 6

OMG Carmen, you are gorgeous and beautiful!!=)

Answer 7

no then they be self conscious and they would rely on what people tell them and everyone has different opinion on beauty and so that would really make them self conscious and harder to trust people.  

Answer 8

Every photograph that I have is reminder of the past. That means not living in the moment. Every reflection of me is an opportunity to be vain and see myself.

Answer 9

yeah it would be great, people would be less focused on images and more on their self confidence. besides being confident in yourself because of how u look is rediculously shallow. if all you have to depend on is good looks thats a fcked life  

Answer 10

honestly, i think it wouldn't matter, because other people can see how you look, and they have there opinions on what beauty is.. but my life would really change.. omg i mean it would really be for the worse for me, because i have to know what i look like when im going somewhere
