Seppuku for Dummies
>All that a man does is physiognomical of him. You may see how a man would fight, by the way in which he sings; his courage, or want of courage, is visible in the word he utters, in the opinion he has formed, no less than in the stroke he strikes. He is one; and preaches the same Self abroad in all these ways.
Now, in earnest, I recommend the works of Oscar Wilde, who preached a cult of beauty and successfully gave himself that aura despite sporting a rather grotesque appearance.

I don't think it's about beauty, beauty is just an attachment of worth, people are beautiful in so far as they can make a person better, or feel better, but maybe that has a higher and lower form.

This is about will. It manifests as something agile in the eyes, a sharp look, a need for self preservation, but never in the lower 'organic' sense. The true look of power and the force of nature can only back a sense of worth that wants to be replicated, that's where the true power in the look would come from. Something created and strived for in the person instead of received. It's all war, it's all shit flinging, philosophy is no different than old martial arts schools students willing to fight to the death to defend judo vs jiu jitsu. Look at how philosophers actually interact, they want to intellectually murder each other. You have to want to fight, you have to want to win, you can never retreat, there is the constant threat of absolute humiliation and failure. You have to want to win
