YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL...........





You know lately I have been thinking "What or who actually defines beauty, what are the yardstick for quantifying beauty, or what organization or group of people actually defines the Term beauty" Oxford defines beauty as "a combination of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, that pleases the aesthetic senses, esp. the sight"
While wikipedia defines it as "a combination of qualities that pleases the intellect or moral sense"
 ...I know beauty they say is in the eyes of the beholder. But is there really any general parameter for actually determining what is beautiful and what is not. If we can agree that perspectives differ from person to person then its possible that my definition of beauty may be your definition of ugly and that certain qualities that pleases my intellect or moral sense does not please yours. Then how do we ascertain Who is or is not beautiful..... Its funny when we look ourselves in the mirror and  stare directly into our eye and try to see beyond our face into our soul...... Is it then safe to say that beauty lies within and does not border upon the shape of your nose, lips or the size of your eyes or the color of your skin ....but perhaps it is the content of our character that actually defines how beautiful we are. According to wikipedia's definition of beauty it is quantified based on moral and intellectual appeal so then "WHO IS ACTUALLY BEAUTIFUL AND WHO IS NOT?"
  More so its also been discovered that the more accustomed u get to a face the more attractive it seems ....then it gets me wondering what am I really like and if people see me the way I see myself, as I would want to believe that I am smart, interesting, happy and handsome ;) (hehehe)... but the truth is you never get to see yourself for who you really are.
  I once read that each human being sees the world from his own very unique point of elevation, perception, and inception so therefore every one sees himself as beautiful and judges other based on the image of himself that he projects onto others
   That's why we sometimes see someone we clearly perceive as ugly telling you that "I SHA KNOW AM FINER THAN YOU" and then you are forced to start asking what mirror have they been looking?   So it begs the question......HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE WE REALLY?

      Thanks for reading this post and please don't forget to comment...see at the next stop ;)
