Beauty.......

Beauty is a word that makes everybody in this world judged by every one else.
Beauty is a word that makes people want to get closer to you or even shy away from you.

Beauty is a word that makes people jealous of someone. Beauty is a word...

You may have looked at others and say "Wow, you are so beautiful!" or even look at the magnificent blue sky, the clouds moving around slowly, elegantly and you may say" See how beautiful the sky is today!"

The definition of beauty is "the quality or feature that gives pleasure to the mind and senses."

Most people will too see beauty as this definition does. However, I beg to differ.
In my definition, beauty is not about appearance but about the nature, character and the personality of a person, or better known as the inner beauty. Most people look at beauty at its surface meaning. People tend to judge a person or an item by its appearance, or rather, how beautiful it looks. Sadly, many fail to look into the deeper meaning of beauty.


Many say that the Eiffel Tower is one which is majestic and beautiful due to its architecture designing. Many will take pictures of it , bring it home and keep it as a souvenir. Many will too flock to China and climb The Great Wall Of China. They will too take pictures, not because they are beautiful but because to act as a souvenir. Many will not be able to see the real true beauty of The Great Wall Of China. The real beauty can only be seen when someone truly understands how to appreciate it. Many had sacrificed their lives to build this wall and it is right that we, their heir to appreciate their effort and understand the true beauty.

Inner beauty can only be achieved by appreciating what others do for you and not be so self –centered.”Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”--- what does this truly mean? Parents, teachers and students have been hearing it for almost 10 times by now, however , do we even understand what it means. Now, I realise what the hidden meaning is---Beauty is so difficult to achieve that only those who truly appreciate it can achieve.

”Things are beautiful if you truly love them”--- Jean Anouilh.

In fact, Beauty comprises not only of outer beauty (A.K.A = appearance) but also of inner beauty which most people leave out of their definition of beauty.

“There is nothing that makes its way more directly to the soul than beauty”—Joseph Addison
