Beauty is relative my friend.
or is it that I want you to define f'ed up?
Snicker...

Insecurity...is it really?
or is it questions after questions from beautiful minds.
I can think of no better "thing" to be surrounded with.

Does that make me the definition of f'ed up?

Drat...wait...when I blow a new years eve whistle...I'll remember this.

I think really that people who wants to be "VIP" are insicure an superficial people when they think only at beauty and money...I prefer the beauty in ourself but many of us not...

in my opinion, beauty is everywhere.. it depends on the eyes and mind of whom see things in other words. Beauty is relative as Valentina said, but if you try to see the beauty of every single thing, you're gonna be a happier person.

beautiful heart make beautiful people
I think beauty is not the way you're dressed or if you look young or your beautiful hair "Loréal, i'm worth it" I'm fed up too with this society whose tell you to be slim, tell you that you will be happier if you buy this wonderful handbag (which is 850$ or more )
No, beauty is in your heart

I think this mindset comes primarly from advertisers pushing the idea that if you buy their products, you will be young/slim/beautiful/rich - and that we MUST be all these things to be an acceptable person. Then it's even more reinforced by society's admiration for star performers even when they take illegal drugs and do other destructive things. Even in sports, the "stars" are much more admired than a good, solid team player. Problem is, these ideals are reaching the very young children in our society and they grow up knowing nothing other than this so by the time they are adults, it's solidly embedded in their thinking.
At risk of showing my age, I think the cure for it is to turn off the TV and give kids (and ourselves) other, more constructive things to do that help to develop hobbies and interests outside of our looks. I really think it would make for a happier and more productive society.

ok i hate to be long and boring BUT i do love to be objective and not narrow minded

for instance

i will attack myself in this example so no one has feelings to be hurt. i am a good hearted person who is honest strong smart good mother loves God loves family loves country loves community gives to all NO MATTER WHAT i will help and ask no questions. this is me. if i care to i can look pretty on outside as well according to magazine ideals wearing makeup and fashion. sometimes i like to as it is great fun. it accessorizes ME and my personality. does NOT diminish me at all. NO. nor say i am shallow. i am not this person each moment. i wake up look like messy hair same like rest of world! good thing for soap and water too. and deodorant and parfum! high heels are always making me feel like i am in my mothers closet playing dress up! and pretty dresses distinguish me from a man. this is not a crime. my body shape is envied by women who instead sit in front of televisions jealous of ppl than doing something for to make themselves recognize they are good as well. sometimes i feel insecure too. but why shall i dwell on this? why should you? or anybody? for what purpose?

all around me is beautiful nature. like you will not believe. gorgeous children who are smart and funny. adorable animals who are smart and efficient and protective. neighbors and friends who are irreplacable. a God i cannot see but who is always with me ,,my Most Loving Father. yes i have it all.

jealousy is a cardinal sin. do not feel jealousy. rejoice for a person who experiences fulfillment and pray for those who can not find its path.

i told you this will be long:faint:

I think you hit the nail on the head, Mark with the word, 'balance'. We should develop all facets of ourselves - good grooming and cleanliness definately being a part.

you know this is more than just that. insightful too. because i am thinking this way also...

people also do comment to me ~this is in person i mean~ all of the time about my physical appearance. like a news broadcasting. as though i do not own a mirror and without their kind offering i will be lost LOL!

i have been called...
all tall remarks... all skinny remarks... all sexist remarks

yes many ppl do not realize how a simple comment can affect another. self esteem is just this. SELF esteem. rely on self for boosting esteem. never EVER others. others do not live with 24/7

plus my first comment does seem very crabby. also does this one. what is up with that? i am not even crabby!

oh brother.

also i did intend to type i feel bad that someone did that to you. you always look so happy. never should ne1 wipe away your smile

Wow! Great comments

There r alot of people out there with ur beauty and no appreciation of inner beauty though, Leena.

I'm sorry u got hurt too Mark. I usually find people make remarks because they're jealous in some way.

U should take it as a compliment!

That's great Mark.

Have a lovely day!

O thank you pretty rhona and handsome mark

yesterday it was a day full of MANY seizure... wayyy to feel pretty *eh? when peeing on self ...also i do fall down the stair and catch back and neck... owww:(

do you hear recently about these shootings? this is craziness. many many so i hear. all around Holidays maybe like you say because of societal pressure of definition of beauty... who or what mold a person supposedly purports to project success in. perhaps if not showing this to outside world then he/she blows! and now with a gun! everybody they use guns now to solve problems. this is such ugliness. and i empathise this survivor families. tears of love for the innocent...

Sorry u had a crappy day Leena!

The rate of shootings upsets me too. Mainly it's the American gun laws, each state has a different law and in some places anyone can get a gun.

It's awful!

Because the saying Sticks and Stones, may break your bones, but words can never hurt you, is incorrect.
I'd rather have broken bones. Verbal Violence, exists in many homes.

I will greet this day with love in my heart, Og Mandino
The Choice, it takes 30 days to start a new habit he says. . .

I actually have have quite a healthy self esteem. But a name can bring me down in a second.

But I had this purse, which has nothing to do with nothing, but it was beautiful, inside and out.
