Looking good can cover up lots of other flaws. It's been proven over and over again that you can make a career out of looking good. Anyway, remember Don Johnson? He used to be on that show about those two well-coiffed cops in Miami?
Don is now sort of a cranky, old "wise" man, quoting the Buddha. For some reason, I kind of doubt Buddha really said this:
“I have some friends who are considered, well, modern-day prophets, and one of them said, ‘It must be wonderful for your children to have such a conscious father—when did that happen?’ And I said, ‘I’m mindful of a quote attributed to Buddha, which is that you don’t find the pearl of enlightenment lying around on the beach. You gotta go through a lot of oysters, and you gotta scrape your knuckles and break your fingernails opening all the motherfuckers up. And then one day’ ”—he beamed and grasped the air—“ ‘there it is! The fucking pearl of enlightenment!’ ”
