Random Thought 3 - Beauty

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder – goes the common saying. I definitely agree.

The beauty of a person is being appreciated depending on our yardstick.  Yes, we have our own way of measuring beauty.  What could be beautiful to some may not be acceptable to others.

Every individual possesses a beauty of his/her own.  Some are obviously endowed with beautiful physical appearance while others prefer to call their beauty an inner one.

If we will evaluate closely our barometer in measuring beauty, it cannot be denied that we are being programmed by the very society that we live in.  Yes, society dictates what is beautiful and what is not. People of different cultures, of varying beliefs and customs, have their own representation of what is beautiful.

But do we really have to argue about the thing called beauty? I guess it is simply exploring our perspective on things for us to see what could be beautiful in our eyes. At times, our eyes may deceive us on what we have considered as beautiful.

As for me, beauty is a gift that should be nurtured and to be shared. We only radiate the kind of beauty according to what we feel inside and we cannot fake that one.

For someone to appreciate your beauty is not to flaunt it but simply to let others feel that they are equally as beautiful as you are.
