“Attractiveness is a matter of biology,
culture, and fate. Beauty is matter of deed, act, and honor.”
I see
attractiveness as something we see externally and beauty as something stemming
from within. Attractiveness is different
for every person, and is heavily influenced by culture and media. The roles biology and fate play are whether
or not a person is born with the external features that the media finds
“attractive”. Someone who is beautiful
is not someone who wears the best clothes, has the perfect shape, or possesses
the best facial features, but beauty in a person comes from their heart. When a person can give their last to a person
who may have never had, when a soldier gives his life in honor of his country,
when a teacher gives their time to share
their knowledge with students, or
simply when an older sibling shares with their younger sibling. Beauty doesn’t have to be some grand gesture,
just a notion to show a little consideration to those whom you share this world
with. Beauty is a quality that all
people need to assist them in becoming greater citizens and overall better human beings.
