They can accessprivileged circles, exclusive groups, and especially-- the human heart. People will spill their guts to you, whether they mean to or not. If you’re paying attention, the way they react to your Beauty will end up telling you everything you need to know about them.

You’ve got immense power to be seen as Good, Righteous, and to reach in and touch their hurt places, to give them an example of benevolence and kindness even if they spit in your face. Don’t make the mistake of believing that will earn you better treatment—it most likely won’t.

But it's your best, and sometimes it *will* affect people profoundly. You can do your fellow man and woman a great turn, here. You can undo damage done by others. You can give confidence, restore faith, and build goodwill towards men.

The way I look at it, you're already saddled with the problems that come with being Beautiful. You *could* just use this power to serve yourself if that's your prerogative. Or, you could, as I've suggested, try to retroactively deserve this random gift by making good of it.

Of course, this is where the ladies with different inclinations and I clash a little bit. This is what you came here for, folks. To be fair, my own little morality about beauty is entirely self-imposed. I make no claim that what I believe is the objectively "right" thing to do.

But I would be wary of those who use beauty as a weapon, esp when they're exclusively punching down. What good could it serve them to be this way? The easy answer is that it's a grift, the more insidious one is that they're covering their own wounds and petting their own egos.

But I’m not one to squander randomly assigned gifts when they could do good for others, I guess. And the day simply will not come when I weaponize this to mock people who are “below” me for giggles or to assuage my own wounds. Miss me with that shit.

We've all got power in one form or another, some we earned, some we didn't. Either way, we've all got as much of a responsibility to be good to each other as we can, and the Beautiful are under more responsibility than average, not less. At least, that's the way I see it.
