Is it good or bad to be shallow?

Question

Is it good or bad to be shallow?

Answer 1

good.  

Answer 2

It can be good because nothing bothers you so you drift through life unscathed.

It can be bad because you have no empathy for other people and you hurt them. However if you are shallow it doesn't matter if you do hurt them.

So being shallow is good for the shallow person, but bad for those who come into contact with them

Answer 3

Good.

Answer 4

its better than being deep.

Answer 5

neither, depends on you

Answer 6

It is good to be shallow if that gives me a chance of a good fat laugh.

To be deep may demand that the counterpart, the listener, the audience, the interactor, try and really squeeze their brains, their attention, in order to try and dive deep down into your depths

and that may mean hard dangerous work, strong exertion, whatever

while a good unreflected chit-chat may be relaxing and humorous

and if it gets all too tiring for you, you might just leave or not listen and thus elatedly feel that you have lost nothing.

Allow me to wish you a good laugh.

Answer 7

To be shallow is the worst that anyone could become. You easily get angry, you don't understand people, you think only of what is easy, you judge a person by the appearance and many other negative traits. It's living not to the full. It's mediocrity when you can be a better person.

Answer 8

Very bad, for more reasons than I can possibly say...

Answer 9

It's bad, it leaves you with meaningless relationships...

To be shallow, is to be ignorant...

Answer 10

neither

we shallow people are just part of the tapestry of life ;)

Answer 11

Shallow, good, bad?

I'm too deep to understand these words you spew

;)

Most people who are shallow have a strong opinion on if something is good or bad and they form an opinion based on that and take it as the truth.

Answer 12

What happens when who you thought to be shallow runs up dry?

Answer 13

I think it's bad.

Answer 14

"when you ain,t got nothin' you got nothin' to lose"  but anyway, it is  better than being apathetic,    lukewarm,     be hot or cold, even if it is shallow you have more of a chance, at whatever it is you need a chance at.    

Answer 15

not really this is the definition in the dictionary

'lacking in depth of knowledge, thought, or feeling'  

Answer 16

good

Answer 17

Depends where you're from and what your culture is.  If you're from the U.S. I'd say be shallow so you fit in with the rest of your culture.  If you're from the rest of the world, they'd say pull your head back in and get a grip of yourself.

Answer 18

Well I used to be the complete opposite of shallow, but ended up with ugly boyfriends that had good personalities.

Since my last one, I've become more and more shallow.

Answer 19

Good question,who would have thought that a simple question about shallowness could be so deep
