He would see faces in movies, on t.v., in magazines, and in books.... | |
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him....and | |
Through the years, by keeing an ideal facial structure fixed in his | |
Mind....or somewhere in the back of his mind....that he might, by | |
Force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal....the | |
Change would be very subtle....it might take ten years or so.... | |
Gradually his face would change its' shape....a more hooked nose... | |
Wider, thinner lips....beady eyes....a larger forehead. | |
He imagined that this was an ability he shared with most other | |
People....they had also molded their faced according to some | |
Ideal....maybe they imagined that their new face would better | |
Suit their personality....or maybe they imagined that their | |
Personality would be forced to change to fit the new appear- | |
Ance....this is why first impressions are often correct... | |
Although some people might have made mistakes....they may have | |
Arrived at an appearance that bears no relationship to them.... | |
They may have picked an ideal appearance based on some childish | |
Whim, or momentary impulse....some may have gotten half-way | |
There, and then changed their minds. | |
He wonders if he too might have made a similar mistake. |
