'There are downsides to looking this pretty': Samantha Brick

Just now I read the story of Samantha Brick on Daily Mail. This woman gets a lot of attention from opposite sex but you know women resent this so much that they have no problem closing doors on her. Even though she’s married but somehow she seems a threat to them. 

“I’m not smug and I’m no flirt, yet over the years I’ve been dropped by countless friends who felt threatened if I was merely in the presence of their other halves. If their partners dared to actually talk to me, a sudden chill would descend on the room.”

I believe this too is a problem but not the kind of problem that will drive you nuts. It may seem vain & shallow to many. Only those who have experienced something of the sort know what it’s like. Women not just turn green; they have a habit of creating insurmountable problems for the other woman if they are threatened in any way. And they can stoop down to any level & that can be really very ugly. They’re going to harm you & they don’t feel any remorse whatsoever. I don’t think conscience seems to prick jealous women out there. 

“If you are attractive other women think you lead a perfect life — which simply isn’t true. They don’t realize you are just as vulnerable as they are. It’s hard when everyone resents you for your looks. Men think “what’s the point, she’s out of my league” and don’t ask you out. And women don’t want to hang out with someone more attractive than they are.” 

And forget about jealous women, I think the biggest problem is that men think you are out of their league. This is the main problem :P Who gives two fucks about jealous women! They can stay jealous till the end of time.

Although when I started reading this article, I couldn’t help thinking that this woman is not that attractive or pretty, but I don’t think she’s making it up. And just like me, many others too will question the same thing. But maybe she has the kind of personality that attracts people & you may not see that in pictures. It’s not just a pretty face that attracts, but it could be the fact that someone is full of life. We see living corpses around us & naturally when someone is full of life, you tend to get attracted. However, Samantha Brick is not that pretty & that’s my opinion. The other thing is I’m not a man, so I don’t know what actually clicks a man. 

Anyhow, I think there’s not much you can do about jealous folks & that can be your friends, colleagues, siblings, relatives, etc. Jealousy is a quite a motivating force. Which is why green-eyed monsters manage to harm the person. 

However, as I have been able to gather the pieces Samantha doesn’t seem to be that intimidating & she should thank her lucky stars for that. You know men don’t send out bottles of champagne & wine & flowers to intimidating women no matter how pretty they are. I can’t say which is the worst kind of jealousy, but it’s a prime pain when your own sister is your worst enemy & would stoop down to any level to harm you. Samantha has no idea that this too is a problem I don’t know if she is deluded or not, but whatever problems she has faced, I think even an ordinary looking woman may have faced them. It’s not looks, anyone who poses any kind of threat gets treated badly & unfairly by women & even by some men who are more like women. 

I remember once we shared a story in which the writer’s friend was dying hard to be called intelligent. Everyone wanted to sleep with her but no one ever called her intelligent. That was really funny. I don’t think any smart or intelligent person would be dying for a compliment. They usually know it, cause they are smart enough I guess. Just like Samantha’s good looks, even the good looks of that particular female was in question. I have met lots & lots of ordinary, mean & bitchy women who seriously believe they are beautiful & they never get tired of narrating stories of their beauty. 

But at the same time, we have examples of acid victims. Their faces have been distorted forever. They don’t have any hope whatsoever. When you come across bitchy folks who are making your life a living hell cause of your so-called beauty, please take out a minute for those who can’t even look in the mirror anymore. Then you may realize your problem, which is a problem (?) is not that big a problem. 

Samantha Brick is yet to meet people who are into voodoo art. Genuinely jealous folks believe in casting spells & witchcraft is quite a common thing. Meet a genuinely beautiful woman & you may know the stories of how witchcraft can ruin lives. It’s not closing doors on you, it’s like closing the door of life on you. And there’s a big difference. 

I also don't think that genuinely good-looking women have time to narrate stories about their beauty. What you see in the mirror is more than enough if it is that beautiful as you claim or think it to be. It doesn't matter whether you have lecherous admirers or not. Problem free life is an illusion. As long as people are around, they will create problems for other humans & animals. You're not the only one who has problems.

PS Sometimes I do get carried away :P

Acts of terrorism

I have been thinking that two particular crimes are nothing but acts of terrorism against helpless beings. We may say that women have been scarred for life, but that’s not enough. Which reminds me of how breast cancer patients are mad at people for using pink ribbon to give them moral support. Some people don’t even have the choice to get mad at others. They only suffer. I’m referring to rape victims and acid victims. Each and every case is equally important, cause the victim doesn’t die but she’s forced to lead a life of a living corpse. It’s worse than death. The crime is not committed once. It’s committed every day in the mind of the victim. What could be more torturous than this? 

Few days ago, my sister narrated this story of a girl who threw acid on her boyfriend. The guy slept with her but refused to marry her later on. She went off her head & threw acid on his face. Right now she’s in jail & she said that she was quite content with what she did. You may have been wronged but that doesn’t give you the right to throw acid on anyone. Mostly husbands throw acid on their wives or men who have been turned down. Whatever the reason is, I don’t think anyone has the right to ruin someone’s life. 

We have heard about black magic. Many do not believe in it. The question is: how could anyone believe in this trash now? But the fact is: people visit those who are involved in witchcraft. Casting spell on someone has become more or less a lucrative business. I admit only three types could believe in this crap today. Those who have been victims and those who are the culprits and their clients who are equally guilty. Even these people play havoc with lives. It seems that conscience doesn’t prick these people at all. 

And yes I have been bothered by one question when I think about all these victims. Why didn’t God protect them? And we have often heard: whatever happens, it happens for the best. I don’t see anything of the sort in these cases. 

I don’t believe in nemesis or nature’s retribution or karma for that matter. Even if these culprits are punished, would that lessen the pain of victims? And what about victims who are dead? And the fact is…they are never punished. They get away with it. 

People are evil enough. They don’t even show any kind of remorse after committing terrible crimes. Ruining another person’s life means nothing to them. They have no fear of God. 

I don’t believe in the justice system of this country. Even my father who was not an ordinary person had to fight for eight long years and  he had the best lawyer. Fine. He won the case against the government but how many people can even think of filing a suit against some bastard or even the government? It requires lots and lots of courage. And you’re all alone when you fight for a just cause. 

I stay away from Pakistani dailies for a reason. It’s very depressing to read the same horrifying stories every day. We can’t even protest for them. We’ve got our own lives and we are cowards. I wish I had been like my father but I’m not. I do get scared and I do get depressed after reading such stories. All of it pricks me, cause my mom taught me several things as a child & now I realize that honesty is not the best policy. I think I was far more courageous when I was young.
