I believe, every once in a while, everyone would take sometime to review themselves. What they think of themselves and what others think of them. Then questions like ‘Why am I so short/ fat/ tall/ skinny ?’ , ‘Why are my arms/ legs so big ?’ . Naturally, we tend to answer these questions ourselves and several other questions would pop up such as ‘Does doing this works ? Can I really do it ?’
Many times, we are just being judged by society. What the society thinks is ‘perfect’ is what we sees as ‘perfect’. We would then want to pursue this ‘perfection’ so as to please ourselves or should it be , to fit in ? A normal human being having 2 eyes, 2 ears, 1 nose and 1 mouth is no longer ‘enough’. One needs to acquire a pair of sparkling eyes, a set of ears that complement your face size, a sharp nose and seductive lips to be ‘perfect’.
Even the ‘perfect’ face is not enough, one needs to obtain the perfect figure and body proportion. Males have to be tall, muscular and toned while females have to be slim, voluptuous figure. Although height does not really matters for females, the length of their legs are what many are looking at. Their body might be short but their legs needs to be long. Being categorized under the short part of society automatically puts one in a disadvantage these days. When one does not reach the height limit of 170cm(5’7) in Singapore, one is short.
Who would be able to withstand all the types of criticism and looks that strangers gives off ? The type of look that one obtain, the stare down that one gets. Without even exchanging a word of speech, the looks of disgust is portrait by their body behaviour.
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Is it really only beholder or beholders?
