Beauty


(click the image to enlarge it)


It's true.


Beauty must be defined as what we are, or else the concept itself is our enemy. Why languish in the shadow of a standard we cannot personify, an ideal we cannot live?

Smash your concept of what you or others should be, and redefine beauty, and understand that we are perfect in our imperfections.

Uh, that's a bunch of crap. I agree with the point that the image of the society has a caustic affect, but lowering the standards to the point where we are all already beautiful means that fat girls will continue to wear a glitter shirt with the word "Hottie" written across it and believe it. Furthermore, it takes away a need to improve that has driven humans for thousands of years. So I disagree completely with the idea that we are already beautiful just for being and feel that we need to achieve a concept of beauty that is self-defined but not just the self as is.

some people like fat girls in glitter skirts, jake. lots of fat people get married, and fat porn exists.

and who are you to say that going from fat to skinny is improvement?

the point is that we are what we are, there is no use trying to mask it with makeup and clothes that fit today's trend. we are told from a very young age what a man is supposed to be and what a woman is supposed to look like. no wonder so many girls have eating disorders and low self-esteem: those ideals are not realistic at all for most women.
