THE GREAT DIVIDE BETWEEN BEAUTIFUL AND UGLY
I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me. And it has nothing to do with what I look like really, it is just that I gave myself the power to say that I am beautiful, and if I could do that, maybe there is hope for them too. And the great divide between the beautiful and the ugly will cease to be. Because we are all what we choose.
~Margaret Cho
When I read the first line in this quote for the first time, I said to myself......BOLD AND ARROGANT STATEMENT and then I read further and said HELL YES. The great divide between what many of us consider to be UGLY AND BEAUTIFUL is otherwise known as the thin line between love and hate. WHY? Because many of us judge by the looks of a person before getting to know them. My experience has been......Beautiful on the outside; Ugly as hell on the inside and vice versa. These days everyone is caught up in beauty even the ugly ones :) Sometimes, I feel like a valley girl when the guys approach me and their self confidence exceeds their looks; I find myself screaming "AS IF!!" Therefore, I am as well guilty for being a little harsh when it comes to looks. I am not a snob because, I have practiced equal opportunity and drawn from the BANK OF UGLY on a few occasions. The difference between MEN and WOMEN is; men will hide their uglies and only bring them out at night. Us women tend to be little more pro-active and be seen with ours. WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL; DOESN'T IT MATTER WHAT'S ON THE INSIDE? We are what we choose and what others say just DOES NOT MATTER.
People of beauty are sometimes difficult because they feel better than. They treat others wIth little to no respect and most people hate to deal with them. We all have been guilty at one or more times in our lives where we felt so beautiful that WE COULD NOT BE TOUCHED. I cringe when I look back on my times and wonder why anyone did not kick my ass. Youth and beauty fades and if you do not get your attitude in check there will be nothing to fall back on. TRUE BEAUTY comes from the heart and reflects in the twinkle in your eyes. The kindness generated from a BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT is the spark you bring to an unkind world. Instead of spending enormous amounts of money to the cosmetic and fashion industry donate it to where you see it's needed and trust me when you look in the mirror; YOU WILL LOVE WHAT YOU SEE! It's OKAY to tell yourself you are beautiful; because there are many that will say YOU ARE NOT. Too many of us have broken self-esteems because of those people and if we do not invest emotionally in what THEY say; then we all can be BEAUTIFUL AND POSSESS BEAUTIFUL SPIRITS! So the next time you are out and you have the opportunity to speak with and beautiful vs. ugly person, GO FOR BROKE, you will be surprised at what you find. STOP caring about the outside and look to the inside for the real beauty. POWER comes from KNOWING that we were all created equally in the eyesight of GOD. I rather be with someone with a heart of gold than someone too beautiful and cold. THINK ABOUT IT!
