One of the best lines in a book I have been reading recently:
"Even in the worst tragedies and crisis, there's no reason to add to everyone's misery by looking miserable yourself. That's my philosophy. This is why I always wore makeup and jewelry into the jungle, nothing too extravagant, but maybe just a nice gold bracelet and some earrings, a little lipstick, good perfume. Just enough to show I still had my self-respect."
I agree one hundred percent. Its not about looking smart, its about the greater good.
I know my friend Thomas would understand.
