One of the many disadvantages to having a face that looks like it has been stung by a swarm of angry bees, as I do at the moment, is having a face that looks like it has been stung by a swarm of angry bees. This is always unfortunate. But aside from the many disadvantages, there are also advantages. For starters, one advantage to having a face is having a face, even if it does look like it has been stung by a swarm of angry bees. It is always of net benefit to have a face. Can you imagine what you'd do without one? Things could fall out. It could get quite alarming. On the whole, when it comes to having a face or not, I recommend the former.
Another advantage to the angry bee face - so remarkable that I am, in fact, remarking on it now - is the way in which this face so quickly becomes the thing people notice about you: the only thing, in fact, people notice about you. They become so busy noticing it about you that they don't notice anything else, and considering that your angry bee face is not your normal face, not even that.
This face, then, is a gift: you get to be able to make a dramatic entrance wherever you go, and others get to be concerned for you. You get to be a talking point, and they get to talk about you. Yes, you say, I am indeed aware that I have a face: thank you so much for noticing. Please join me later when I will still in all likelihood have a face probably. Thank you for coming to view my face.
It is, as I say, a gift: a gift for a very specific kind of person: the drama-queen-show-off-who-is-actually-very-private-in-person-person. Which, come to think of it, they all are. It is certainly true of all of me. "The only thing," as someone said, "worse than being noticed is not being noticed." I suppose that someone who said that also had a name and a face. But I didn't notice.
So, on the whole, taking into consideration the pros and the cons, the pluses and the minuses, the advantages and the angry bee faces, I personally enjoy having a face, no matter what kind of face my face has. It's what I use to face up to things, to face down things, to have my face fall and my face lift, and to face other things, especially other faces, in the face. On the face of it - which is, after all, the only thing faces are - faces seem quite good and useful. And also, there is this to consider: if we are so constantly using our faces to face other things, it only seems fair to have those other things to face our face on occasions, no matter what face our face has on.
