Pinnallisuudella
Pinnallisuus is a Finnish term that generally translates to superficiality or shallowness. It describes a tendency to focus on outward appearances, immediate gratification, or trivial matters rather than deeper meaning, substance, or long-term consequences. In social contexts, pinnallisuus can manifest as an excessive concern with fashion, wealth, status, or popularity, often at the expense of genuine connection or personal growth. It can also refer to a lack of depth in understanding or engagement with a topic, preferring a brief overview or a simplified perspective over thorough exploration.
The concept can be applied to various aspects of life, including relationships, work, and intellectual pursuits.
