The vanity of his appearance – stylized beard! – is deeply at odds with his purpoted grasp of reality and the futility of maintaining the ego. Although he is possibly sincere this looks like an advert for pseudo spiritualism. Sorry.
The man wasn’t perfect by any stretch; we all stumble across the (very human) vanities of style in search of meaning. I believe that his search for meaning, however, was an incredibly honest one. He had a sort of sincere childlike curiosity that I find comes though in many of his writings. It may be an advert, but I believe Mr. Watts’ ideas are timeless: to this day they still relate to many different areas of intellectual study & understanding.
Everyone has an appearance. What makes one’s appearance more vain than another’s?
His beard looks fairly natural to me. Many men don’t grow full facial hair. He probably just trimmed his cheeks a bit. Seems to me more vain to shave one’s entire face every day. Takes a whole lot more effort.
What the hell is wrong with having an appearance you like anyway? There’s nothing wrong with expressing yourself so long as you don’t cling to these expressions *as* yourself.
