I feel that real beauty is on the inside.But to look at the world today one could never say so with great confidence.Today the world is full of tips and advice on how to enchance your self.It is a world trying hard to say that beauty on the outside is important and that it will open doors more easily to ones success.
It is blatently unfair and cruel to accept someone who looks better than one who does not.The beauty on the outside has become such an improtant issue that now a days mothers start enhancing their daughters long before the child is aware of the difference between good looks and bad.This attitude of thinking that real beauty is all on the outside is making our society very superficial.The young girls are more concerned about how they look than what they want in life.It is because society as a whole has made outside beauty so improtant that it is becoming a problem to find more people beautiful on the inside. The beauty within is by far much more rare and precious.

But because of the way society is geared it is not easy to nurture the beauty on the inside.Every magazine, paper or television is full of beautiful people on the outside.The reader or the veiwer has no knowledge of what kind of personality these beautiful people are.Do they all poccess any inner beauty that is equal to their outter beauty ? Or are they just what they look? Everyone is accepted at face value.By making all these film stars and singers the role models for our youth they dont learn the value or the importance of inner beauty in a person.
If we all can learn to look beyond beauty on the outside we will find real friendships,good marraige partners and on the whole make lasting connections with people.But to make inner beauty seen by the larger section of society we have to change our values and not make outside beauty sound so romantic.
Every poet or author writes and serenades the outside beauty of people.Whether we like it or not this is what sounds romantic.Unfortunatly the real beauty that is found inside is hardly ever written or spoken about.It is the beauty that is inside that makes this world a happy place.It is the kindness that shines in ones eyes that should make it look beautiful not the mascara or the eyeliner.Inner beauty does not require any anti aging creams or face lifts.It grows with age and is much more beautiful than any beauty product could ever produce.
