What defines beauty? That is such a large question; To me external beauty is transient as a passing breeze, it comes and goes. Yet true beauty from within will never age. Therefore, I feel that a person’s true beauty is internal and not external. You could define beauty as a flick of the hair, a graceful move, a slender frame, a beautiful face; But a beautiful face with no true self behind it, is not really beautiful. It is a hollow shell, it’s just there. Yea these things are aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but they are superficial qualities of no real consequence. They have impact of that I’m sure. But they have no sustaining importance. They are purely on the surface and have no depth. It is the qualities of the person that define beauty. A genuine and caring nature with no regard to self-defines true beauty for me.
True beauty is deep within the psyche, the soul, the character, the very being of the person. Inner beauty is the sum total of every lesson a person has learned throughout their life, be it short or long. The sum total of every mistake they have ever made and every success they have ever accomplished. That person inside of you is the one who is ultimately beautiful, and it is when this person is allowed to come to the surface, to shine through the its eyes and in their every action mash together the ideas of inner and outer beauty into a complete, beautiful image of a person. If you want to really be beautiful then try to have a good heart and you will be the prettiest thing ever on this earth… Namaste…
