You get diminishing returns pretty quickly unless you're a really disgustingly ugly person both inside and out.

diminishing returns

If there are any returns whatsoever, diminishing or otherwise, then that's enough for humans to chase after it.

unless you're a really disgustingly ugly person both inside and out

Indeed, humans are pretty ugly. Same with the rest of nature. Look around you. Would you say it's ugly or beautiful when a gazelle is still alive watching a lion eat its insides. Or when a fly is immobilised as a spider wraps it in silk. Humans are no better. We are animals. The same forces are active inside us as in every creature. This is life on planet Earth.
