Are you Beautiful?

I just want to talk about an awesome campaign my seniors launched today. It was the Beauty Campaign. It's about a campaign that appreciates inner and outer beauty. Body, mind and soul.

Okay, so we were told that everyone is beautiful and what matters is on the inside. But we were 'shown' the other way round.

How are we suppose to know what Beautiful really means when all we see are pretty people getting the cute boys & vice versa and pretty people turn heads around but not-so pretty people are invisible? or maybe even it's okay when pretty people wears push ups but not when not so wears it?

it has always been something i believed in, that getting to know the person first, is all it takes to know whether that person is beautiful or not. You're either beautiful or you're not. I personally think there's no one in between.

Take these scnearios:

-"I feel beautiful. I feel beautiful! But why is he looking at my tummy instead of my face?"
- *Thinking* "Oh my gosh, he's looking at me. I know i'm beautiful!"

See the difference?

First of all, yes everyone is beautiful, i really really think so too. It's your different skin colour and the size of your nose that makes you unique. The way you look at people will already tell a story of what you think of them. The way you wear your dress will already tell a book of what you think of yourself.

But beautiful is rather.. ambiguous.

There's a huge difference between feeling beautiful and you being really beautiful. Feeling beautiful can be sad actually because you keep telling yourself you are beautiful but you know that the girl with the better skin gets the attention instead of you. Then you disagree the fact that everyone is beautiful. and keep on cursing the media and the magazines.

Honestly, why should we keep telling other people that everyone is beautiful when in reality, it's still obvious most people dont care about the 'propaganda' "everyone is beautiful". Everyone thinks highly of themselves and no they still wont share their drinks with people with crooked teeth.

What i'm trying to say is, why do we tell ourselves constantly that we are beautiful when we know we already are? Why people keep reminding other people they are beautiful when we know other people are obviously beautiful too? Why do people say the different features we got make us "unique"? Is that just another word for weird? But you're putting it in a good way? Tell me, enlighten me.

I personally think that the easiest thing you could do is just be friends with everyone? and hug them like they dont have diseases? Or maybe share some juicy secrets with them like they know about "it" too? or maybe talk about how good they are in bed without visualizing their facial expression during that time or their cellulite?

Telling people they're beautiful is undeniably sweet and improves their self confidence, no doubt. But the fact that you talk about the hair of the person at the next table after that will be pointless already. Thats why i dont gossip nor judge. I guess i never will. It's an evil deed and it doesn't make me a better person. Though at times, i admit i automatically judge people i dislike. My bad, but i'm learning to scratch that out from me.

I hope you wont people. please. The moment you talk bad about other person's waist size or eyebrows, you're already not beautiful to me.

So, are you beautiful?
