Appearance

Often, we would hear people say that they do not bother about how their friends look like, nor they care about how their partner look like.
My question to you, just how true is that?

I would just point out a simple example.
Cockroaches. Many girls would squeak their lungs out when they see one.
But then again, why are they afraid of cockroaches?
The harmful effect of cockroach is that they carry germs that might cause food poisoning due to the places they travel. Now, if it is the dirtiness they are worried about, wouldn't they be also afraid of their computer keyboards, which is said to carry 5 times more bacteria compared to a toilet seat?

Truth is, even though they are completely harmless (other than being dirty and maybe smelly) and they don't bite, people still do not like them. WHY?
Let's face it. It is because they are ugly and horrendous looking.
So much for not bothering about looks.

Fun facts about cockroaches:
Crushed cockroaches are pain relievers.
They are currently being researched for medicinal values
People do eat them for nourishment.
They eats bedbugs
They DO NOT bite.
They do not have any disease, but due to the places they stay in, which is dirty, makes their body dirty.
(they are like stray animals, if given a good "bath", they will be clean)
They are good adapters of environment. (literally stays anywhere other than super cold places)
They are not picky about food.
They survived for 400million years, same era as dinosaurs.
Might be the first flying animal on earth
Some species can digest wood lika termite!
They can survive 1 month without their head
They can hold their breath for 40 minutes
They can run up to 3km/hr
They sleep for about 75% of the day.


So, there are so many stuffs we human should learn from a cockroach, so, why hate them?
But the sad truth, we are all superficial.

This little example explains it all.
