half Hungarian until my late twenties when the Lebanese connection was
suddenly stated- maybe after a military defeat of the day plus I never
met any grandparents and few relatives so I was sort of raised in a
bubble. Mother had a resemblance to Hedy Lamarr for a while- I suppose
that's where the Central European model came from. This isn't totally
unusual in America with our "melting pot" habit of reheating our
backgrounds like leftovers. Anyway, I am sure there are just as many
dull or ugly people in the Middle East as anywhere else in the world-
I think there are beautiful looking types from all races and nations.
But what is Beauty?//As for human progress, there are many areas of
forward motion- mostly mechanical or industrial and some social
expectations which are also ancient- but it really depends on luck-
where and when you are born, your education, etc. Plus violence is
still violence and might be even worse as it has become impersonal
through better weapons and technology. If our leaders and politicians
and those who are the economic driving forces of wars were forced unto
a battlefield with a sword and their wits/strength we would likely see
the end of the rotten business.
