  Good question!
  When one knows what it is, one can also recognize it!

  Some are.

  It seems that someones looks are that important because we are constantly
  told by Radio, TV, newspapers, magazines and so many others that they are!
  They are important because we learn that they are important. They are
  important because big businesses such as cosmetics, fashion clothing and
  fitness centers think they are important, AND, they are
  important because those who don't have much in the "package", like to
  think they are important.

  That's not true at all, however, it may be "convenient" or "more practical"
  for some to assume so.
