     We say that physical beauty is skin deep and that "pretty is as pretty does". But we don't always act that way. What pretty does is often seen in a forgiving light, while we are quick to leap to judgment of the unbeautiful, imagining, for instance, that fat people are lazy or reedy.

We know that the link between beauty and goodness is spurious (欺骗的), but our actions are not always guided by conscious reason.
