Beauty. It’s amazing how everyone wants to look extraordinarily beautiful, far from comparison with other fellow beings. It has become more like a competition that takes place in every house, on every street. Society has set basic criteria for every individual to be ranked on, regardless of any other factor that might be of great use or at least appreciatable. Lets look at the criterion:
1) Good Looks
2) Respectable family and good looks
3) Good ethics, good knowledge and good looks
4) Good manners, well behaved and good looks
For many marriages, beauty plays a pivotal role. It sidelines many other factors that can or may cause disturbance between the couple or the families. Its all about getting your hands on the prettiest creature possible without noticing the needs, requirement and demands from the other side. People often talk about the inner beauty that shall be valued more but when it comes to applying this rule in their own personal decisions, everything seems to go wrong. And the funny part is, when people get their hands on the prettiest spouse possible, they don’t value them.
People have such craze for beauty that they are willing to go beyond the limits of sanity. From natural homemade beauty products to fairness creams, tummy tuck to botox, liposuction to surgeries that are life threatening and if done wrong can’t be reversed [i.e, Shabana Azmi’s one eyebrow that stays up high was due to a cosmetic procedure that can’t be reversed; ash and shilpa’s nose job]. Is this insecurity? Or a race to look so beautiful it would hurt to look at you?
There definitely are a lot of pros for being beautiful but what people don’t care about are the taunting behaviour of others that come in the form of hatred and jealousy. I could never understand why the prettiest people felt lonely in huge crowds and more at home with few honest friends.
They say: excess of anything is bad and as I am growing up, I feel it’s actually true. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, every person experiences it differently. Some rank it on looks and physical appearance, whereas some worry about the inner self. We all can never think the same !
Time for me to leave. Gnite
