Not Nice
They're superficial, like the Trumps. Style over substance.

Yes, she looks good, but there's a reason why vanity is considered a sin. Personal hygiene and seeking to look nice is one thing but, IMO, an 87 year old seeking to look like a 40 year old has misplaced values. Their choice, but not for me.
Movie stars who refused plastic surgery are more centered, IMO.

Why do I care if you're a member at Mar-a-Lago? I don't. I know you're not. Trump wouldn't be caught dead within 100 yards of a lowlife trailer trash asshole like you. He's the worst man in the country, so consider what it means that even he couldn't tolerate your stench and your low class insults. I think you're what's wrong with society and the world. I think you're a hateful, dishonest prick determined to maintain unearned privilege for white, fake Xtian, fake straight men who haven't done anything to deserve any of the benefits they receive in civil life. Suck on that until you finally die.

It's good advice. Ancient wisdom, regardless of East or West, religious or secular*, is often good and applicable since human nature hasn't changed in the past 3000 years and, possibly, the past 30,000 years.
My comments were more about the psychology of a person who spends so much time, money and effort on superficiality rather than focusing upon longer lasting endeavors. Example: what does it say to one's granddaughters and their friends to see a woman focus to much time and effort on "looking good" or "desirable"?
Superficial Behavior: Causes, Consequences, and How to Overcome It
Explore the causes and consequences of superficial behavior, and learn effective strategies to cultivate authenticity and build deeper connections in life.
neurolaunch.com
In today’s society, superficial behavior has become so commonplace that it’s almost expected. We live in a world where first impressions are made in milliseconds, and our worth is often measured by the number of followers we have or the brand of clothes we wear. It’s no wonder that many of us have developed a knack for putting our best foot forward, even if it means leaving our true selves behind.
But here’s the kicker: while superficial behavior might seem like a harmless way to navigate social situations, it can have far-reaching consequences on our relationships, mental health, and overall well-being. That’s why it’s crucial to address this issue head-on and learn how to cultivate more authentic connections.
*Secular wisdom would be stories like Aesop's Fables: https://fablesofaesop.com/the-peacock-and-the-crane.html
A Peacock, puffed up with vanity, met a Crane one day, and to impress him spread his gorgeous tail in the Sun.
“Look,” he said. “What have you to compare with this? I am dressed in all the glory of the rainbow, while your feathers are gray as dust!”
The Crane spread his broad wings and flew up toward the sun.
“Follow me if you can,” he said. But the Peacock stood where he was among the birds of the barnyard, while the Crane soared in freedom far up into the blue sky.

Projection
The process of displacing one’s feelings onto a different person, animal, or object. The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection—attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another.

If you get one, share it with me! The crack whore is positive that it exists, yet no one else has ever seen it. What is the definition of delusional?

Arbie is in pain and lacks the character to suck it up in favor of lashing out at others.
IMO, jealousy and self-pity are two of his prime motivators. It's sad to see in a young person but pitiful to see it in a person over 60.

They need to strike back to save face but not in such a manner that prompts a full scale assault against Iran. Killing Americans, either in the US or abroad, is one way to do that. Closing the Strait of Hormuz would invite the complete devastation of the Iranian government and kill the Islamic Revolution.Iran may decide that killing Americans is the best way to retaliate

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let’s get clear on what we mean by superficial behavior. At its core, superficiality is characterized by a focus on the surface-level aspects of life, relationships, and interactions, often at the expense of depth and authenticity. It’s the art of skimming the surface without ever really diving in.Superficial Behavior: Causes, Consequences, and How to Overcome It
