Society

Let me paint you a picture for a moment. Picture this beautiful women, blonde hair, slender, relatively good complexion. She is on a magazine cover. She has a big smile on her face and she is like you and me. She isn't perfect she has smile lines, her arms aren't the size of twigs they are maybe more like a 2X4 but yet still very beautiful none the less. So what are you thinking, okay that's like any other girl I see on a magazine cover. Well that is true but now let me tell you something, this beautiful woman was photo shopped so she didn't have as noticeable smile lines, her arms were the size of twigs, and she looked so very pale. Does anyone else see what's wrong with this picture? Society today has brain washed us into thinking beauty is only a matter of what's on the outside and if you can fit into a mold of size 0. I am sorry to tell you that I have seen some people who are size 0-2 and trust me they are not beautiful. They look as if they haven't eaten in months, and you're afraid to even touch them of fear of them breaking. On the flip side I have seen some very beautiful women who do not fit into this mold and who may be in the high teens even twenties in pants size. They are beautiful and that's because they are happy and they don't think of themselves as better than you. Society needs to start looking at what people have to offer on the inside instead of what physical gratification they get by looking at someone. They wonder why there is so much divorce in our county well it's because people want that instant gratification. Our society makes people feel insignificant, and worthless. People get married for someone's looks or how someone is sexually. When you hear a newly married couple talk about what drew them to each other most likely their first few responses will go on how they look, and how they make them feel. Rarely is it because oh the person has a great personality or that person makes them laugh and smile.
