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 :)

You're either part of the solution or part of the problem. There is NO middle ground.
