Beauty, More Than Skin Deep?

As I try to better understand the world everyday within my own, while looking all around me on the outside, I struggle to better understand why we are who we are. In doing so, I am able to better understand myself as I learn lessons from those around me whether it be in the work place or while watching the news. One particular facet I have always attempted to understand is ones outside appearance.

So many times we have seen the “ugly” people especially those in school’s from pre-school to university, being picked on, beat up, and bullied; but why? Just because they aren’t as pretty or handsome as other’s doesn’t mean we have the right to pick on them. With that said, appearance became the facet that caused me to slip into a place where I might be able to individually understand the reasoning of such cruel behavior towards others based on how they looked and the following is what I came up with.

When we go to the movies who is usually in the starring role, the best looking men and women money can buy. Who usually gets away with doing the wrong thing; the best looking? Who usually fits the “criminal profile” the “ugly” people. It is all so interesting, that being the way our minds work and much of the time this is based on one’s appearance and looks.

With all of that said, when I consider the idea of reincarnation and how it fits within the confines of this topic, I wonder if the way one treats others in a past life has anything to do with our physical appearance in the next. If we treat people bad, could that karmicly influence our distasteful appearance in our next life? Who is immune? No one; if I am correct about this, those, not all, beautiful people in the world who look down on others based on there looks might want to reconsider the way they view people for they may be jeopardizing the gift of beauty they currently have.

As for those whom have been defined ‘ugly’ what ever ugly is, those of you, not all, who feel envious or jealous, or hatful towards those that have put you down based on your looks, now is the time for you to learn to forgive and forget. If not, you may continue to jeopardize the looks you already have thus becoming “uglier” than what you already are.

There are many points I am trying to make regarding this piece, the first being that if this mad, crazy, yet possibly true concept is correct, all of us are and always will be, beauty and the beast. Secondly, the whole idea of treating others the way you would want to be treated comes into play here, the better you treat others, the better you will be treated. Think about it. Also one must consider the possibility that the “uglier” a person gets, the more depressed they may become thus the more issues they may have, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Finally, what really is beauty? Is it truly how we feel about ourselves on the inside or is it deeper than that? How much of our everyday actions play a role into what we will become either in the rest of this life and or next time around?

In conclusion, I believe that we all have the capability to be beautiful everyday if we just treat each other with respect. I must also keep in mind that because I believe we are all energy, our energy can be affected in ways based on how we treat others as well as ourselves. Because we are all human, we have the right to vent or criticize every now and then, I am just hoping that we all do a lot less of it and instead work on our individual selves. In doing so, we can make this world a truly beautiful place.

Blessed Be-
