The most beautiful girl

Just about every fairy tale we know talks about the "pretty" and the "ugly" and how the "pretty" is always the nice, gentle, honest, brave, victim, innocent one. While the Evil, mean, deceitful, lying, coward, aggressor is always the ugly. Somehow reducing everything it is about judging people to simply how they look.

I think this is so deeply rooted in our cultures to the point that it reflected on the societies and the way we're brought up. Beautiful and nice or ugly and mean. It's so rooted, that being pretty is being passed as a complement to people to represent other feelings like love and affection.

I'm not really sure who took from the other, the culture from fairy tales  or the other way around, but one thing is certain they hold close resemblance.

Back to the way women are dealing with these words. I'm so surprised how many women through everything out of the door at the mere hearing of words like she's beautiful. As if shes been going through two decades of education to reach the point where she can finally hear those words!

On the flip side, women who don't hear them often suffer from low self esteem, and feel that they're the ugly ducklings. It makes them feel even worse.

Here's the sad realization.... Women march to these traps with their own feet. Many are so obsessed with beauty that you will find them going through great lengths just to prove that they're beautiful. Suffering everything to get there, from harmful chemicals applied to their young faces. To cosmetic augmentation and implants. It's such a sad realization when someone with a wealth of character and knowledge has to compete with beautiful airhead. It's such a sad world we live in when an Amazing PhD holder has to compete with surgically inflated (aka fake) people.

If all what a man sees in a woman is a pretty female, then she ought to be very upset. Her existence is far greater than that beautiful image. I don't care if she is really beautiful or not. What I care about is that she's not only that! There's much more in there.

It's such an unfair world. The world that rewards people on their looks and the color of their skin not the content of their skulls!
