Final Thoughts

     When someone is said to be "born beautiful," what does it mean? Perhaps they look a certain way to make society think that they are constantly gorgeous, or maybe they simply are gorgeous. But if there is one thing to be taken from this website, it is that "being gorgeous" or "born beautiful" are simply terms, names that society has created, and the mind has morphed into something that must be achieved in order to be fulfilled. This should not be the case.

      Being seen as beautiful changes from person to person, culture to culture. There is a different definition of beauty all around the world, because the world is not the same in every location. Cultural ideas about beauty should not be compared with each other, but rather appreciated for the differences. When reading about some of the cultural beauty standards in the world, one can hear people murmuring "oh how strange", or "that's so weird", as if the culture that they grew up in does not have strange or weird beauty standards. While it may be difficult to realize that cultural differences should not be degraded but rather embraced, this is the key to survival. 

     Beauty is something that brings light and smiles to the world. Without the ability to recognize beauty, one would be unable to appreciate the beautiful flower blooming in a field, or laugh in delight when dew drops on grass form small bubbles that twinkle in the sun. One would also begin not to appreciate first appearances as much. One would begin to judge by learning about a person, talking to them and learning about their life. 

     It is difficult to say whether or not the world would be a better place without the recognition of beauty. While people may be jugded by substance and not surface, beauty is something that exists in everyone, and should be celebrated by all. Beauty should not simply be a judgment of a person's facial features, but rather a judgment of their actions towards the world, as that is truly the ultimate test of beauty.
