so...? get a life!

Recently one headline keeps haunting me even though I try to ignore it even if it is right in my face.  It is something to this effect "World's 'most beautiful' woman still has not lost pregnancy weight".  Did you understand which 'most beautiful' woman I refer here?

For nearly a decade and a half we have been crazily in love with this beautiful lady.  Beautiful she could very well be, with a little god given gift and a lot of help from makeup, she could be.  And let her be!  I have absolutely no problem.  But my conscience (you could call it ego if you will) starts taunting me the minute I see the word 'world's most beautiful'.  Alright so that title she got about a decade and half ago still sticks. But honestly aren't we all the very beautiful?  Aren't each one of us indescribably beautiful and awesome in our own unique way. 

Honestly, when I look at myself in the mirror I feel very proud of myself, for the person that I am. Yeah, the feeling of wellness goes beyond the color of the skin and the proportions of my body.  You may think that I am being egoistic.  Maybe.  But I think that this high dose of self-esteem is necessary to go through my life.  True, there are more talented and breath-takingly beautiful people all around, such people have been, are and will be in the future.  If only we knew how to recognise this beauty instead of calling only one individual as the 'world's most beautiful' person.

And haven't we heard somewhere that beauty is only skin deep.   Here today and gone tomorrow.  That is the transient nature of physical beauty.  (True beauty lies in goodness of the heart.)

And if people are having trouble losing weight, its their problem, choice, karma, whatever.  But the masses are not willing to let it go.  They are not willing to accept the fact that she is also a human being, that she could put on weight and lose her model like figure.  They are not willing to put her down from the pedestal that they have put her in and give up her place to another beautiful lady.

According to the masses being model like is beauty, they cannot recognise true beauty.  It has always been this way.  Now their favourite heroine does not fall into their definition of beauty and a big hue and cry is raised about it.

I say, people, go look into the mirror, see how beautiful you are!  Recognise your beauty!  Fall in love with your own great unique personality! 
Go and fall in love with the beauty that u are!
