What's goin on folks?? It's been quite a while, but I'm back with something lovely (if I do say so myself)! Lol this may seem like a post for the ladies, but really anybody can read (AND COMMENT! Lol).
So over the last two weeks or so, a couple friends and I have had conversations about women and how a lot of them are so consumed with their outward appearance. There are so many factors that almost always damage a female's self-concept. Fashion/fashion magazines, tv, movies, music, and the Internet all display the same message: Beauty is what's on the outside. This stirs up a lot of dissatisfaction in many (or most) females. Sadly, sometimes females don't even notice the effect all this has on them.
So what does it really mean to be beautiful?? It's all about fake hair..plastic surgery..a big butt..false lashes..getting thinner..big breasts..fake nails..make up..accessories..etc....Right??....NEGATIVE!! True beauty comes from within. How the world defines beauty doesn't even come close to what it is in actuality. Check this out....
"Don't be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious." -the Bible {1 Peter 3:3-4 New Living Translation}
Please understand that outward beauty fades with age. Maybe not completely, but it fades nonetheless. Instead of trying to attain beauty that is only temporary, we women must make it our business to become beautiful on the inside. I mean it only makes sense seeing as though that's the kind of beauty that lasts forever.
Blessings
AMEN TO THAT M EEKS! IT'S CRAZY HOW THE WORD HAS TEKEN ON NEW (FOR THE WORST) MEANING WITHIN THESE WOMEN OF TODAY! TRUE BEAUTY IS INDEED FROM WITHIN... AS CLICHE AS IT MAY SOUND BUT IT'S THE TRUTH. DOPE POST.
ReplyDeleteI think beauty comes from whatever the individual deems it to be. It may be their apperance it may be their honesty, heck it may be their personal relationship with the Lord. I think beauty comes from that thing WITHIN a person that THEY decides makes them beautiful. What matters to someone, might not matter to someone else and vice versa. So it all depends on what that person decides is their 'thing' that makes them beautiful. Whether its their nails, hair, relationship, or intellect. I think beautiy is ONLY compromised when they look for it outside of themselves and go by what other's think, thats when it will be compromised. -Sheba
