People Should Love Themselves

The media always showing their views of what "real beauty" supposed to be. For instance, you must be extremely and almost sickly skinny to be beautiful. You must be blonde even though half of the people in the media are dyed blondes. You must have full lips even though your race is not naturally born with full lips and so on. The models on the magazine covers don't even look like the images that are presented on the magazine because of picture touch-ups and makeup. However, "average people" still are mesmerized by the scene of Hollywood and the model industry.

As a result, the media and beauty magazines have given an image of weird and delusional beauty that is not real for our children to admire as role models. Children today and even adults are intensely obsessed with the outer beauty not even understanding that having a wonderful inward man is more important.

Children or adults who are naturally thin cannot even go into the world without someone wondering if they are anorexic.

True and natural blondes are hated because they do not have to dye their hair to get the color people want. No one is happy with the way she or he looks.

People have gone to the extreme from botox to plastic surgery to become beautiful not understanding that surgery is still surgery. People want to be skinny even though they are beautiful in size and shape. They would rather look like a literal little girl without thinking it through to realize that they would lose their breast and their beautiful feminine adult shape.

Prejudice between other races is pervasive because of looks. Color people are jealous of Caucasians. Caucasians are jealous of people of color of all races. One is jealous of someone's full lips. Another is jealous of one's nice full butt, another is jealous of one's nice little nose and so on. No one should be jealous of another nationality because each one has its own uniqueness and beauty which shows variety and gives appreciation of another race.

This brings this next point. People should love themselves more because people should realize that they cannot be the people they are trying to become. I love it when Tyra Banks bust out with that saying "So what!" This saying helped thousands and thousands of women feel good about themselves and to understand the importance of being happy with the natural them.

God has made us unique and beautiful in our own way and jealousy is just another way of not appreciating who you are as a person. As a result, causes a lot of people to have identity problems throughout their lives because they try to become someone their not. It's like being a victim of identity thief when a person does not love themselves and try to find out their own uniqueness, beauty and fashion.
