RE: The mask of beauty LOH Contest 122

Hello @yinks. Yes, society has placed a value on the concept of beauty, especially when it comes to physical appearance of the human body. But why the need to do so? Why put in a place a set of rules and values? Does it mean then that one must always strive to attain beauty so that person can fit into the role that society has defined for them.

Why can't one's accomplishments, personality, abilities, and aptitude be sufficient to live one's life without the pressure of trying to look a certain way. There are far too many other issues humans have to deal with than trying to live up to someone's definition of how they should look and then be ostracized for not attaining it. Those are just my thoughts.

And it's true what you say that:

"We are in a time and age where people think they can get what they want by their looks, whilst it is true in some cases, it can only be preserved by the character."

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Take care.

The society we live in is a complicated one, and yes we have some many things to deal with so trying to keep up with the tags of society can be quite stressful
