It is the beauty that killed the Beast


Everybody likes to be called “Handsome, Pretty, Beautiful, Good looking, Photogenic” etc. Everyone longs for beauty. What is beauty? You can find hundreds of definitions for beauty, but what really beauty is? For me beauty lies in imperfection and irregularity. What if all clouds are regular shaped, it won’t look beautiful right? Beauty isn’t about having a pretty face. It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart, and most importantly, a beautiful soul

 
 
 

People always say: It’s inner beauty that matters, not outer beauty. Well, that’s not true. If it were, why would flowers put so much energy into attracting bees? And why would raindrops transform themselves into a rainbow when encounter the sun? Because nature longs for beauty, and is only satisfied when beauty can be exalted . Outer beauty is inner beauty made visible, and it manifests itself in the light that flows from our eyes. It doesn’t matter if a person is badly dressed or doesn’t conform to our idea of elegance, or doesn’t even care about impressing other people. The eyes are the mirror of the soul and reflect everything that seems to be hidden, and like a mirror they also reflect the person looking into them. So if the person looking into someone’s eyes has a dark soul, he will see only his own ugliness.
 
Beauty is present in all creation, but the dangerous fact is that because we human beings are often cut off from the divine energy, we allow ourselves to be influenced by what other people think. We deny our own beauty because others can’t or won’t recognise it. Instead of accepting ourselves as we are, we try to imitate what we see around us. We try to be what other people think of as “Pretty” and little by little, our soul fades, our will weakens and all the potential we had to make the world a more beautiful place withers away.
The appearance of things change according to the emotions, and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves. That’s the thing about inner beauty; Unlike physical beauty, which grabs the spotlight for itself, inner beauty shines on everyone, catching them, holding them in its embrace, making them more beautiful too. Everything has it's beauty but not everyone sees it
