What is Real Beauty...??

                                      

                          Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

                    Everybody has beauty- just not everybody can see it.

There are thousands of adages on beauty.

What is the definition of Beauty..?? What is it to be beautiful???

Everyday, we are bombarded with lots of advertisements on beauty.  In advertisements, it is always shown that in order to be successful, liked and approved by others, one needs to have external beauty. There is always a misconception in this term.

Beauty is a term that is always interlinked with women. It is very complex to define beauty as it differs from person to person. Does anyone with a model like figure and a pretty Barbie doll face have to be the definition of beauty? 

Some feel innocence is beauty while some say a child's smile is beauty..!! In the celebrity world, many people view beauty as one's physical appearance.

So what is Real Beauty? Beauty is the combination of all the qualities of a person or thing that delight the senses and please the mind. There is a famous adage in Tamil :

                                                

                          அகத்தின் அழகு முகத்தில் தெரியும்.

which means that the beauty of the mind appears in the face. Beauty is a reflection of our personality and individuality. 

A line from Thirukural:

                          முகத்தின் முதுக்குறைந்தது உண்டோ உவப்பினும்
                         காயினும் தான்முந் துறும்.

Its translation : The feelings of a person is first reflected in their face and it  even precedes the mind.

But to be honest, in the present society, physical beauty  plays a very important role for people.Everybody dreams to be beautiful. It was the Roman Dramatist Plautus who wrote, "A woman without makeup is like food without salt”. 

 These misconceptions on beauty make some people crestfallen. And they tend to apply expensive cosmetics or take operation to obtain the so called man-made beauty. There is nothing wrong with wanting to make yourself beautiful or wanting to feel better about yourself in a society where image is everything, feeling and looking good is important. The question to ask yourself is how far would you go to look perfect? Before you consider something as drastic as cosmetic surgery, make sure you are happy with who you are on the inside, because the outside can change at a moment's notice.

           

Physical Beauty is never everlasting. That is the magic of time..!! Always remember that beauty inside will not fade away.

                           

  A beautiful woman is a diamond but truthful, honest, trustworthy woman is a treasure. 

Good looking is pleasant while spiritual beauty is more important. The real beauty is reflected in one’s soul, not only depending on appearance. True beauty doesn't need any kind of ornaments. Do not think of yourself inferior or wish to be someone else, instead embrace your personal beauty and be happy. Be proud of yourself. If you cannot find beauty, it is not because beauty does not exist, but because you just close your eyes.

And the next time, you meet any person, never ever judge by their appearances.

It is in your hands to decide whether to be a diamond or treasure..!! 

            Oh Thy...

                        Do not judge by colour of eyes,

                     But judge by innocence in the eyes;

                     Do not judge by lip-stick worn on lips,

                     But judge by truth worn on lips;

                     Do not judge by complexion of hands,

                     But judge by help done by those hands;

                     Do not judge by  golden anklets worn on feet,

                     But judge by brave steps taken by feet; 

                     Do not judge by weight, height or any physical part,

                     But judge by purity of their Heart.
