Since time immemorial, beauty has been a source of human happiness. I'm not advocating, say, foot binding-level of torture to achieve beauty, but pretending beauty is irrelevant to a fulfilling life is sad.

Actually intelligence has been a way more important source of happiness. Without it, we'd all be beautiful and dead by 40.

I have a genius IQ, and successful in a profession that depends on that, and yet can't think of a single way in which my IQ has contributed to my happiness. Quite the opposite, in fact. I'd say there's an optimal IQ level, it's substantially below genius, and above that it has negative effects on happiness and fulfillment.

Perhaps that's your case but your IQ still probably contributes to the species' overall success. My IQ test score is 136 in English (I'm not a native speaker) and yet I'm not unhappy, quite the opposite, I'm thrilled with every single day on this earth. 🤷‍♀️

Yes, I do. Much better than clunky running shoes. Birks let the feet and toes breathe.

The secret to Birkenstocks is amazing foot hygiene, regular pedicures, and replacing sandals every 2-3 years. Just because you can go without cleaning your feet daily, regular foot/nail care maintenance or updating sandals every 2-3 years, does not mean this is a good look. Details matter when you are trying to pull off a basic/classic/natural look!

Yes! And I wanted to stomp on their feet with my Doc for ruining my goth day.

LOL—both Docs and Birks are good for your feet! So maybe the goths and hippies have more in common than we ever suspected.

My husband was a Docs guy in HS and college and is now a Birks guy. One of my sons now wears Docs in winter and Birks in summer. Maybe the healthy feet singularity is upon us.

You know what's sad? Gnarled toes that resulted from wearing "beautiful" shoes. I see it, even if you never wear open sandals anymore.
