Looks are pretty shallow.
People grow their hair out and 'get it right', then they become afraid of having it damaged or cut short – a bad quality for a male. Then to maintain or enchance their looks they'll turn to cosmetics, and before you know it a generation of males will be using make up – because those who don't won't be 'beautiful' by the new benchmark.
Parents buy their children expensive brand name clothes and ostentatious haircuts to make them look 'better', which means that children without must look worse.
People pursue fitness, then their consumption of food becomes as gluttonous as a fat person and they are afraid to stop or give up because their body will turn to flab or wither – yet it's going to happen anyway.
Those who pursue health, start eating only organic food, but they accept that the rest of the food is 'poison' and feel reliant upon organic producers, and then get scared to drink out of plastic water bottles.
All of these pursuits are self-defeating.
Anyway, I don't think there's a contradiction with suffering from defects and being the 'shaper' of one's reality. these people aren't claiming to be gods.
