I've recently noticed something interesting, Friedrich the great called germanic culture clumsy, but I've noticed that eastern mediterranean culture also has some clumsiness in it, but the difference arises in aesthetics, I want to get to the bottom of this:

>germanic clumsiness
A badly tucked in shirt and goofy 80s glasses
>eastern clumsiness
Constantly testing on your elbow even though its been proven to fuck up your spine
>germanic ideals
Dry, clean, cold, sharp
>eastern ideals
Greasy, vibrant, warm, round

I honestly cant describe it precisely, but the reason why ancient greek statues have negative canthal tilts, and bad jawlines is directly linked to a whole world of aesthetics in our culture, the reason why people in western europe always wear tight, constricting clothing to be more neat is also one of them; whenever you go to the countryside and see a kid like this, a westerner will see ugly features where we see beautiful features, and beautiful features where we just see a normal kid, its a whole kind of aesthetic language embedded in the soul
