I noticed something tonight that has me a bit concerned.

Twice since I've been logged in women have commented to me that they are, "Ugly" It angers me that industry marketing has created the false idea that beauty has so much value and importance, I don't know if it's just the fashion/makeup industry that has created this myth. Probably a number of different venues. Regardless, it's an untruth and it's hurting women self- confidence, self- esteem and a poor self- image.

Truth is, I know many handsome men who adore their chubby, homely wives/girlfriends. My own best friend
is homely as a mud fence but to me she is beautiful.

I wish they would start classes in High School to teach REAL important values. Women should embrace WHO they are not what they look like. This is not a trivial matter. Some suffer severe depression not to mention other factors that cause them to have a sense of less value than very attractive "Looks" Okay, soapbox is over.

Yea you make a good point.

Truth is....The Media has drilled and programmed society with an overwhelming high scale of superficiality into everyone of our minds.

Beauty and fashion is without a doubt,appealing .

We all notice the most attractive person in every crowd.
It's an unconscious visual that turns the mind into program mode and focus.

We cant help it.

It's like I've said before...

To recognize a person's beauty that shines from within,we need to observe how they carry themselves around others and we need to meet and engage in conversation,not to judge,but to feel the energy this person let's out.

You can fall for someone you have never met face to face.

Yea it's not in our conscious mind to look away without a glance at beauty.

It's our power of communication that enlightens the heart and reveals an unconditional beauty that connects one another from the soul.
@SledgeHammer WOW! beautifully said. I really appreciate your observations.

@Grateful4you thanks..
That's really how it is tho.. nothing we can do really. But being aware of it can help.
@SledgeHammer It's probably goofy but I think some things verbally expressed can be absorbed into mass consciousness.
