Beautiful

What's beautiful? The literal meaning of being gorgeous, of being desired, of being outstanding. How do you define beauty? What makes one beautiful?

The beauty lies in the eyes of a beholder. Is it or is it not? Is the girl prowling on the streets of Orchard with big eyes and tastefully done up make up and hair more beautiful than the survivor of poverty and challenges? Is the term "inner beauty" invented to make up for those feeling insecure on the superficial?

What moulds beauty? What creates it? Are the gorgeous models on the front cover of the magazine lying in front of you beautiful?

Insecurity, jealousy or the sense of unjust. These are all but evil, ugly thoughts and traits. Why do one sink into the sea of undesirable wants and seek the comfort of a thought that they are at least blessed with other traits that make it up?

Beauty. What is it?
