Wah.. my last post is exactly one month ago.. what is wrong man?? I am not running out of things to write.. just too lazy I guess..
Just finished watching "Perfect Cut" the new show on Channel U on plastic surgery... everytime I watch this show I get the constant reminder that reality is cruel.. there are indeed people.. alot of people in this world who base their judgements purely on looks alone.. Fat people are called Pigs.. people with no breasts are called Airport.. Ugly or disabled people are stared and pointed at... endless things to be said to anyone who is out of the norm...
Why do people resort to plastic surgery.. seriously if I have the money and I am not scared of pain/death.. I would have got for the easy solution myself.. why not?? Jus spend the money, someone else do the job for you and you come out looking perfect.. from being despised at .. you almost immediately turn into a phoenix or a queen who everyone admire at.. everywhere u go you turn heads.. you are the centre of attention...
Everytime the show finishes.. I find the need to remind myself that there are still people in this world who go for inner beauty.. that I do have the inner beauty inside me.. which is why I have so many frenz and a loving husband (at least for now.. can't guarantee in the future)... that I dun have to care about what other people say about me... that I am already much better off than others.. that inner beauty is the only thing in this world that will last whereas outer beauty wun..
But the funni thing is I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF or perhaps LIE TO MYSELF that reality is not as cruel as it seems to be.. and that there is still another side that I can rely on.. that there is still some beauty in this world... that inner beauty sometimes do win over outer beauty... hahahaha...
But somehow despite going through all the dilemas.. I still continue to watch the show everyday.. not sure whether I want to be constantly reminded that reality is cruel or whether I want to constantly try and convince myself that inner beauty is all that matters... weird right?? Maybe I like self torment.. or maybe I just want to face up to reality... accepting it for what it is.. reality is like that.. it can be good it can be bad it can be average.. depending on how you choose to see it... if you see the bad side, you can choose to move on and ignore it or wallow in misery.. if you see the good side, you can choose to take it for granted and ask for more or you can choose to be glad that you are already quite fortunate than the rest.. soo it just depend on how you see reality.
In the show today, one of the lady said "if you dun care about what other people say or think.. does your disability/your looks matter any more??" Her husband love her for who she is despite her having a huge patch of birthmark over the right side of her face... and when the main lead Alex Tan asked him how come they never consider plastic surgery to remove the birthmark.. he replied saying that they see each other through their hearts so their looks dun matter at all.. seeing each other through their hearts mean seeing the other person inner beauty and not their external appearance.
So does looks really ever matter??
