You know how in the movies they have the whole "love at first sight" thing? its funny how its always between 2 good looking people, it sells more tickets i guess. you know? girls love the guy in it and the guys go with their friends or girlfriends to see the hot chick. stuff like that. but then i thought about what's truly was beautiful. they used to say that guys who looked like Clark Gable or Cary Grant were handsome, (which they were), but show a picture of them to my class and they all say "Joe Jonas is hotter!" and inwardly i groan, i hate those Jonas brothers.
anyway then i thought about how they say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so different people have different views on beauty? makes sense, different people, different outlook. so if someone calls you ugly then you're not necessarily ugly? but unattractive to them?
by this time i was going round in circles, so i moved to different stance: if a blind person is ugly then they'll never know, no-one will tell him/her cos who's going to insult a blind person? Blind people live good lives but never know what they look like, so they can go by other peoples words (whether they be true of fabricated) and think they're gods gift to sex.
they say to "think" positivity and positive things will generally happen to you, the power of
suggestion. often a delusion for ugly people who won't accept it and become conceited by listing non existent good points about themselves. an ugly person can be beautiful to themselves if they can get enough people to compliment them or if they pile enough make up on their faces, that's what my acquaintance Key Ring does. she's not pretty, dresses in trends rather than in what suits her, piles on make up, has hair done in styles that are often favored for about a week and then she regrets having the hair done, colors her hair too much, tell people about her new earrings and thinks people care.
beauty is in the eye of a truly optimistic person, whether that person is correct is another issue.
I believe that beauty is a state of mind that many people will spend their life striving to achieve and that each time they gain one point then another trend has grown in its place. the illusion of beauty changes throughout time, and people who are ugly but optimists will generally consider themselves beautiful, and pessimists will see every bad thing, but thats a choice, pessimists are a lot of the time perfectionists, and realists see things for what they truly are, or at least in their opinions. what IS beauty?
just a musing i had while playing hockey
