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
