Everything is beautiful... if seen from the right observer.

Hello again folks. It's been a while. I've had a lot to think about (as usual) and this time I've decided to do a post about beauty.

Most people I meet usually do not approve of their own appearance. They usually think they are ugly, or have some sort of flaw, and everytime I hear this, I tell them the same thing:

Beauty is probably one of the most relative concepts we got. There are at least 7 billion different ways of describing beauty. Every person alive has their own opinion, and they all change continuously.
A person who judges their own appearance usually base their judgement on how other people treat them. If other people treat them like they are ugly, they will believe this. Even good looking people might believe they are ugly if they are told so often enough. As our good comrade Lenin once said: "a lie told often enough becomes the truth".

Very few can judge their own appearance and do it well, and people who judge their appearance often do so from a negative standpoint. A person that does not get hurt by others opinion does not judge their own appearance. At least not any I've met.

If you are willing to believe the opinions of others, then you would have to get the opinion of at least 100 000 people to get anywhere near a straight answer. You can ask A person how they think you look, but you can never put a tag on your looks and say "this is it". Any person in the world will probably find one person that loves their appearance, and one that hates it somewhere in our 7 billion people.

Also, when people get together, their view on beauty gets affected by the other people they are around. One man could look at a woman, and point out 3 flaws and 3 perfections (example), while the same man with another 4 could easily find more perfections and flaws, or even turn flaws into perfections, or vice versa. I am pretty sure its the same thing for women, although I will not guarantee it.

Do not let anyone convince you that you are ugly. Nobody is ugly. Everyone is unique, and there is always someone out there, probably more than a few hundred in our world that would find "ugly" people as beautiful. Don't judge your appearance, and don't let yourself be deceived by others. be proud of what you are. after all, its all random.

Beauty. We all worship it, and we all have different views of it.
