The Current Values of Society -- Perhaps, it's keyboard-adjustment time?

Being that beauty and intelligence seems to be just as important as wealth/money, currently in society -- perhaps we should implement a Qwerty keyboard symbol for beauty, as well as intelligence, and have it integrated on the keyboard/keypad, so that the new symbols are along-side the (ever-popular) ($) dollar sign; near the 4 key.

The symbol for intelligence, could be: 'IQ+'
The symbol for beauty, could be: 'B+'

Just kidding; It's just a thought.

Granted, there are a lot of symbols for other things. However -- to have money; brains; and looks... what more could one ask for? 'H+' -- for health; of course :)

Values -- Projection -- and Perception: What Makes Us What Others Think We Are

Some people are especially physically beautiful. They may be very appealing to look at. They attract. Some people are especially personable. They may put us at ease, with their friendliness and charming wit. Some people may be especially sensitive and sympathetic. They may make us feel in-touch; connected, received, and understood. Some people are especially open and nurturing. They may make us feel cared for, and empathized with.

There are a lot of ways that we humans connect with each other. Our subjectivity, values, and needs, play a large part in our perception of others. However -- Sometimes, our pre-judgments can shade objectivity (of course).

An apparent mesmerizing beauty, may look well-rounded. However, he or she may (actually) have a shallow and self-absorbed personality.

An apparent homely person, may (actually) have a warm and delightful personality.

An apparent idiot, may (actually) be a savant.

An apparent shy person, may (actually) have a complex and active mind.

An apparent charming person, may (actually) be anti-social.

There can be a lot of paradox's regarding human nature, and the way we project. An individual's beliefs about another person as being likable or not, may generally be related to the values and needs of the perceiver -- and the degree of discernment of the person.
