Society and the pressure to be beautiful

When infatuation comes into your life you have to realize that love is much more powerful and satisfying than we think it might be at the time. So many times we compete with one another about who is hotter, who has the best body, and who has the sexiest God knows what. Many of times we are blinded and sucked into the Media's sickening competitions that always lead to someone getting hurt in the process. Do you really think you are beautiful the way you are? You should, but the Media wants you to be like the celebrities, want exactly what they want, buy exactly what they buy, look exactly how they look just so they can have themselves some money. Money, Money, Money! Is that all that the world cares about these days? Money? Fame? Beauty? Power? The world should be more preoccupied about the lack of nutrition in this world, the poverty and the courage to be the best you can be to make the world a better place. Think about it- do you think all the so called "beautiful" people in this world make you feel better about yourself? No! They make you want to be like THEM. Why? It's like this because the media is trying to break us down, trying to grind us into the dirt so we'll buy products, and items that will unfortunately most likely make us feel useless! Love matters, image doesn't.
