Illusions

Why would a girl put on cosmetics? To make themselves "beautiful" in others eyes... why would a girl prefer a slimmer, softer body? Because that it what most guys were looking for a mate? It makes me laugh to think how human being's mentally depreciated through the years...

How come human's are superior to animals when their actions tends to differ...

Only human prefer to be weak and soft... animals prefer a stronger mate to help them survive the wilderness... because that is the rule of nature... to survive, one must be tough... why would anyone starved themselves to death when in the wilderness, they would kill just for a little food... food that would give them energy, energy to keep them alive... when chaos come, human beings will be the first to be eliminated because they prefer to be weak...

This is the influence of commercialization.

Diamond is the most expensive gemstone... It's beauty is spectacular and incomparable... But did you know why?
Because diamonds are the hardest stone... Yes, a stone that faced and survived millions of years of harsh changes in the environment... and then, before it became a beautiful jewelry, it survive another months of harsh heat and cold from mining to polishing...

Diamonds are fossils... a silent witness of the changes in the earth... Diamonds are tough, survivor... indeed a beauty worth a million...

I was blessed by a natural tan complexion but when I was younger, my dark skin used to frustrates me because it seems that the standard of beauty in most asian country is having a fair, white skin.

I was blessed by a natural big-doe eyes and I used to hate it because smaller eyes seems to attract more attention.

I was blessed by a natural slim body but before, I used to be in strict diet because I was getting "fat" or so I thought...

I used to follow the standard "commercialized" version of beauty and bought a lot of products to achieve that "beauty"... I've missed a lot of simple pleasure in life like eating to my heart's content or playing under the sun just to maintain the said "beauty" but guess what? I was never happy..

When someone complimented me, I was happy for a moment but I still know deep inside that it is not me... I put a lot of effort to be beautiful but still I know it is not the true me.

Then I realized the true essence of beauty is not something naked eyes could see... I learn to accept who I am and what I have... To be content and be an inspiration to others by sharing my believes and principles... By speaking my mind and helping other find their inner voice too...

Beauty is when you know who you are and being proud of it.
