WHAT IS BEAUTY ?

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but it is equally true that every culture has standards for physical attractiveness-standards that can have tremendous influence in many areas of our lives. They say that true beauty is within, and like most people, I once believed that this was an empty platitude. We have all been brainwashed by the media, and the snake oil salesmen of the 'beauty industry', that shallow, naturally impossible surface beauty created by surgery, lighting and air brushing of photographs is the beauty which we should strive for, but the truth is that this surface beauty is an illusion, it is not real.The truth is that our heart is the centre of our being. We exist within whatever radiates from our soul. It is what is within our heart that radiates from us, and it is what is within our heart that we project to the world as who we are, because what is within our heart is who we are.
