The Price of Beauty
« on: February 01, 2008, 09:09:24 pm »
What is the cost of true beauty? What defines it? Is it merely our physical appearance? Is it what lies underneath our clothes? Is it our minds? Is it merely monetary? Or must we forsake and sacrifice other things for true beauty...

A transsexual spends 10s of thousands of dollars to become their true self. Faces ridicule, and loses the support of many they once loved and called friend.

A teenage girl vomits herself half to death to look like a supermodel.

An actress becomes depressed and spends millions to ensure everyone still believes she is beautiful at 50.

A young man takes steroids and supplements to become big and strong, just like his favourite actor. Or sports star.

All of them paid a price, all of them suffer the cost.

A melody, in tribute to the above...

Listen carefully...and ask yourself...what have you sacrificed for beauty?

When I shave my face, I sacrifice my manfacehairs.  It doesn't make me look any more beautiful, just less like a homeless person.

I eat myself obese and completely ignore all attempts at physical beauty or even health.  Do I win a prize?

Not yet. I can't find the power cables to my speakers, but when I do, o yase, I will listen.

Bravery is better than a faint heart for a man seeking to put his nose out of doors. My fate and the number of my days has already been decided.
