Today, we give definition to beauty as a quality that gives pleasure to the senses or one that exalts the mind. Another meaning of beauty is the combination of all the qualities of a person or thing that delights the senses and mind; it may also be something outstanding of its kind. Given these definitions, one can say that beauty is the combination of qualities in which a person or thing would uniquely stand out from others of his or her kind. However, beauty is not true if one would only look at the outside qualities or what the eye could see. Real beauty comes from the inside -- your inner self -- and not what other people see in your physical being.
Perfect nose, tantalizing eyes, kissable lips, slim body, height of a supermodel -- these are the characteristics people would mention if asked "What is beauty for you?" Most people think that beauty is solely about the physical attributes of a person, but as mentioned before, beauty also includes your inner self. It is not only about 'what you see' but also on 'how you feel.' As a quotation says, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder;" meaning, you would see things as beautiful as they can be if you would feel the same way about yourself.
Beauty is not about bragging or flaunting your physical image but dealing with other people without showing off. Although you do not possess some of the physical qualities mentioned, just show and prove that you have the heart which would overrule your physical attributes and make them believe that you are the most beautiful person. Beauty is neither yours nor mine; it is a gift from God. We just borrowed our whole self from our Creator. Do not complain if you think you are ugly; just be happy and contented with yourself. Feel beautiful for God did not create ugly beings in this world.
To further explain these ideas about beauty, let us take the story "Beauty and the Beast" as an example. In the story, Belle loved the Beast despite his monstrous image. The story proves that every single person possesses unconditional love -- a love that originates from deep within. Belle loved the Beast because of his kindness to her, and not because of his features. Now, let us take a look at the events in the modern generation. Frankly speaking, in our current economic situation, guys would want girls not because they are beautiful but because they are well-off; and vice versa. Nowadays, beauty is not the only reason for liking someone, but his/her status in life as well.
People nowadays, especially the ladies, would want their physical features to be enhanced or even changed by undergoing cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery, liposuction, and the like which could lead to more serious problems, an example of which is procuring a disease.
Beauty does not only speak of ladies but the gentlemen as well. Do not let your physical image hinder your true beauty by exposing your heart. If you start being beautiful in the inside, your beauty will gradually come out.
This topic was from the suggested topics of our professor. She asked us to choose a topic in which we have enough idea. I am satisfied with the outcome of this essay.
