We know and share similar ideas about what makes someone beautiful.
The physical features we find attractive in men and women, lustrous hair, unblemished skin, toned muscles, all these tend to denotes health and vigor.
Beauty can arouse admiration and it is natural for us to admire those with beautiful faces and figures and we too like to be just as beautiful as them.
People used to say looks aren’t everything in life but they can be wrong. Men flocks around beautiful girls and beautiful get the job. I remembered reading a comment posted in the newspaper quite awhile ago, quoting a boss saying that when an ugly girl makes mistakes, he get very angry and on the verge of firing her. But when a beautiful girl makes mistakes, he cannot bring himself to be angry with her. I knew of an ex colleague from my previous company, she have everything about her that is stunningly attractive, tall, looks and good complexion, speak well with good English but she is scarcely happier than the rest of us. I asked her for an explanation and she mentioned something which really stunned me. “Because I am beautiful”. She claimed that beautiful woman will always have a sad and tragic life and that’s her fate. I guessed that it was true to her life as she was moving from so many men friend and gone on numerous dates from Monday to Friday and reserved the weekend for a special men friend. Her life was so filled with activities after activities that she has no time to spend with herself. Last I heard of her was she is still single and in and out of so many relationship that does not last more than six months. Sometimes in life there are too many selections that you cannot decide whom should you spend your life with and I guessed that was her thoughts.
Contentment and being beautiful do not goes hand in hand.
It is true that beautiful people scarcely happier than the rest of the not so beautiful and plain Jane. I remembered a many years ago, the church caretaker an elderly woman told me her life story; she is ninety-two now. When she was young and ugly with cleft lip, she thought that no one would want to marry her but she was married at her thirties. The moral of her story is that no matter how ugly you are, there is someone who sees beauty in you. I believe no one in this world is ugly and no one in this world is perfect beauty.
I remembered making modeling clay craft in picture frame of some daisies decorated in the pot, one daisy was molded falling on the table and the rest looked perfect in the pot. Some one asked me why I chose to make this piece of art with flaw in it. “Nobody is perfect” is the theme of this clay picture frame.
