What Is Beauty?

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

Our young women are being conditioned to associate "sexy" and glamorous with beauty. No one is teaching them that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder or that true beauty lies within.

I read an article on beauty some time back that really opened my eyes.  This article told of the ideal beauty in different countries and in different decades. The differences are truly eye opening.  This sort of information should be required reading for our young people.

Kindness, generosity, compassion, self-respect, self-discipline--these are but a few earmarks of true beauty.

Thank you for the thought provoking post :)

EDIT: Here is an interesting article on this very subject:

Beauty Standards

We are not teaching our children any of the basics. They are being taught nililism. They believe they have no future so they just live in the moment. 

Time will move on and unfortunately many won't make it because they have not learned how to live in a world that is not just about them and the right now.

Interesting article, but it too questions why the beauty standards change and who makes the call of what the standard will be. We each personally will make our own call, but we will still be measured by the societal standard.
