"What is beauty?" It's the never-ending question, that runs through women's minds daily. Is it your hair? Your makeup? Your body? Of course, these things come into play when talking about beauty - physical beauty. But what happened to the inner beauty? The personality? Who someone really is? Have we all forgotten what's important, and moved on to only being superficial?

It certainly seems that way, especially, in today's media. The media influences being superficial, by the examples set by celebrities. If they don't have the whole package, including physical beauty, nobody wants anything to do with them. And it isn't right. This also involves weight. If you aren't a carrot stick in this world, no one seems to accept you. All people should be healthy, no matter what size they are. When it comes down to it, your size, height, ethnicity or race isn't going to matter. Which is exactly why it shouldn't matter now, the only thing that should matter is someone's personality and their heart.

Our world is flooded with superficiality. The world would be a much better place, if everyone could learn to love and accept each other, for who we really are on the inside, not only judging on the outside.
