About This Quote
In the medical world, a clinical definition of death is a body that does not change. Change is life. Stagnation is death. If you don't change, you die.
It's that simple. It's that scary. People who are obsessed with their appearance tend to die younger because they value a good looking body above all else.
They tend to stay in relationships with people who look better than them and they tend to choose partners who resemble their ideal of what a person should look like. Men tend to want women who look like models and women want men who look like actors. While this may seem like a rather shallow idea, it can be deadly serious if such people get into an accident or hit by a car while walking home from the grocery store or on an errand for work or school or something else that requires them to be out and about and on the streets of the city at night.
