Beauty Is In The Eyes Of The Beholder - One of the factors supporting that person is said to be beautiful is through his eyes, we can be amazed at someone because of his beautiful and clean. I also never felt the same way when I liked to say he was pretty out of his eyes. For that woman enjoined to maintain the beauty of the eye that has been given by God. Here I give an explanation form the topic of Beauty Is In The Eyes Of The Beholder.For those of you old enough to remember Flip Wilson, you will remember a character of his, Geraldine. Geraldine is described as "a wise-cracking smart-ass with an unseen boyfriend named Killer." One of Geraldine's favorite sayings was, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and you just ain't beholdin' hard enough." I miss Geraldine. There is wisdom in this line of Geraldine's, especially for now when we are so obsessed with physical beauty.
Our generation is probably spending more money on weight loss, plastic surgery, botox, liposuction and spas than ever before. Anorexia and bulimia are not rare diseases anymore and are being seen in children as young as 10 years old. Women (and men) will take weight loss pills at the risk of debilitating side effects and/or death. Billions of dollars are spent annually on skin care, makeup, self-care products, and perfume. We parade our baby girls around on stage, dressed like hookers and plastered with makeup that someone thinks makes them look beautiful. We teach them to strut, pout, pucker, and grin all in the hopes that they will win a beauty contest in exchange for their innocence and their childhood.
(This was brought home in the recent movie, Little Miss Sunshine).But is real beauty entirely physical?Quite some years ago I knew a woman whose physical features did not put her on the top of the "I am the most beautiful list." Her weight and body size were fine but her face needed some help - I thought. This was my first impression. She was a leader of sorts, often in front of the group and I felt sorry for her. (I've learned since then to drop the judgment. I wish I had known to do that sooner). Then I began to get to know her. She was one of the kindest, sweetest, most genuine human beings I have ever met (and that stands true these 20 some years later). She was the first on the scene if someone was in trouble, or there was a death in the family.
And she wasn't just there, she was helping in a skilled and compassionate way. She was always ready to praise, encourage, and show understanding. She was a good public speaker and had a beautiful singing voice as well. She almost always had a smile and had an aura of joy that seemed to make her glow from the inside out. She had everything but a beautiful face. It's strange, though, how that changed. As I got to know her better and better I noticed less and less about her physical appearance and in retrospect she is one of the most beautiful people I have ever known. Her inner beauty shines out - the real beauty of who she is and how she conducts her life makes her more beautiful than perfect facial features ever could.
The Lindsey Lohans and Paris Hiltons of the world should take lessons from her. They have every advantage in terms of physical beauty and financial ability to have everything they need to take care of themselves. Neither can begin to match the beauty that shines out from women like my friend.It is true. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I just wasn't beholdin' hard enough.
