What is God's most beautiful creation???
The answers will range from trees to our
parents, from birds to children and also from flowers to women. But what does
beauty actually mean???
Let's give it a thought:
*For those of you whose answer was nature must
have usefulness as there perception of beauty. Trees, flowers, birds and so
many other creations of God give in to get more so we consider them as
beautiful for they are not only useful but also meaningful.
* For those who believe that their family
members possess beauty there perception of beauty is related to the love and
care they receive. How caring someone is towards you will describe their beauty
in your mind . The more they care the more beautiful they will. In simple
layman terms they will be beautiful till the time they are in your good books.
* For some it might be the beauty of the heart
the matters the most. Having a beautiful heart is indeed enough to be
beautiful. As long as they are satisfied from your attitude they will surely
consider you beautiful.
* But as for most of us beauty depends on outer
or superficial appearances. Heads high, heels long, a pretty dress,
sophisticated makeup and other superficial expressions will help them judge
your beauty. But such beauty, believe me, will deceive in the long run.
Why I say so??? You ask!!!
Well my motto is simple.
I want to let everyone know that beauty is
nothing but a perception created by our on mere mind.
For me everyone is beautiful because God is a
brilliant artist and everything he created is a masterpiece but the way we
describe beauty is the reason we see beauty in only a few things. While if we
look around with a wider perspective then we will find out that not only flower
but also the fruits are beautiful. Not only the petals but also the sepals are
amazing. Not only the heart but also the soul is beautiful.
Mother Teresa referred to a person suffering
from leprosy and said," To those who think she is not beautiful, I believe
she is the most beautiful because beauty lies in the eyes of the seeker."
Her perception of beauty was the reason I still
remember her efforts and exact words. You do need a beautiful heart to
appreciate true beauty.
Kim Namjoon (RM, BTS Leader) once said," No
one is born ugly, we are just born in a judgemental society." No ripple is caused until you throw the
first stone likewise no one calls you ugly until one starts and alas! as the
first stone is always thrown by a judgemental society.
I write this blog to help all and everyone have a wider and more beautiful perception of beauty for everything is beautiful as long as you believe so.
