Superficialities

I am the last person in the world who believes in superficialities. Plagued by a number of illnesses and stress in my high school years, my self-esteem came not from my parched skin and listless hair or lack of fashionable clothing, but from my achievements in academics and debating. Troubled by parental discord, I never believed life was a cake. I know the value of struggle and suffering. I know what it can do to you. Thus, I am very tolerant of human frailties and dont believe that people who have a lack of self-confidence should be trampled upon. In fact, they should be treated with utmost care cause they are the most fragile. Anyhow, enough about my belief system.
The point that I'm trying to make is that ever since I have entered college and started dressing well and looking fairly decent (due to better conditions at home, by the grace of God) , I've noticed a sea-change in people's behaviours. It makes me laugh sometimes. And feel disgusted otherwise. I hope and pray that the person I am never changes because of these superficialities.
