WHAT IS THE REAL BEAUTY?
What is real beauty? Where does it lie? Many people have different perceptions about beauty. Psychologists define beauty in looks, physical appearance,eyes,lips,curves,figure,symmetry whereas poets define beauty in smile,depth in eyes,modesty in appearance,shyness,etc and etc....the list goes on and on.And well,their way of explaining beauty holds true but up to where? This is the question that each one of us should ask ourselves. Rather than being insecure and complaining about one should understand the meaning of beauty from their own perception.
Well,beauty lies somewhere in the beholder's eyes....Wait!Wait! I am not turning to be a poet. I can just prove it. A tall, dark, handsome guy passes by my side.What do I do? 95% of the time I will not notice him and 5 % of the time I will say OK!he had something and i move on.The memory will fade with a glimpse of light,so it is worthless to say physical attractiveness is the beauty. But if the guy does something good,like I see him helping someone or I hear him say something that convinces my thoughts, beliefs or he offers me genuine help, then 100% of the time I will remember the guy forever. And that's what's called beholder's eye or one's perception.
Every people have their own taste and preferences in everything even in beauty. Kheer and Khichadi are two totally different cuisine.Some people like Kheer and loathe Khichadi. Likewise, some people are crazy about Khichadi and do not like Kheer. This doesn't mean that Kheer or Khichadi is an awful dish in itself. Both of them are a great dish but people's taste varies. And the same principle applies in beauty may be physical beauty or behavioral beauty.
These days people are just too busy to understand this simple meaning of beauty and put a lot of effort in doing something that never defines them. Being yourself is the first step to being beautiful.And that doesn't mean not being even presentable and keeping up with your bad habits.Changing yourself is good but the change should define you. Trying to be someone else will leave you with nothing but pain, dissatisfaction and insecurity.
What is our life's ultimate goal? Isn't it to be happy? We run for career, money, and what not but somewhere we forget to be happy. Happiness doesn't lie in achieving fake beauty that doesn't define you. It doesn't even lie in the status or the money you earn. It lies somewhere in something. Our life's ultimate goal is to find out where that somewhere is and what that something is. Trust me happiness lies in seeking happiness. Once we find it, our life maybe just over.
