Poetic Images: Beauty
Image by Capture Queen
Beauty is not but skin deep,
what you have is what you keep.
Cosmetics and surgery
change the dermis,
not inner grace.
We are born who we are
and beauty is within.
It may not be the best poem, especially in comparison to such a great image, but the meaning is still the same: what is underneath the skin is far more important than what is on it.
So this leads to the question, why does the human sexuality lead us to outside beauty and not within? Yes, many of us try to go for both, but in most cases our first instinct is to look outward. When we are at a club, which girl/guy do we go to? The one we find most physically attractive.
Isn’t this counter-intelligent design? Although beauty is just the most average, wouldn’t it be better for us as a race for intelligent to mate intelligent, kind with kind, etc.? Or would that just lead to too many devil children (since that would leave evil with evil)?

We all know that all that glitters is not gold, but still we fall for the brightest. Ahem….its human nature. We get perceived by the outer beauty, and overlook thousands of average looking fellows around who have the most beautiful hearts inside.
As it’s saying “looks deceive”. I must say my friend, its completely true. and you have got it right…………Beauty lies within, the outer is just the skin…..fragile.
Keep it up!
