THE HUMAN STUNNER

Sir,

The beauty of a woman is more than having a pretty face like Halle Berry or a great body like Angela Bassett or even perfect legs like Tina Turner.

Because one day that pretty face or that nice looking body won’t look like it used to or those perfect legs might have varicose veins showing on them.


The truth is every person is beautiful in his or her own unique way. Some will discover their own beauty and use it for the greater good.
On the other hand, many will be distracted and misled by the world’s frill, fad, fetish, or fashion about beauty. Sadly, they will not find their beauty within.


They will continue to chase after the winds of commercial beauty, and eventually reap a whirlwind.
As a black young woman, I believe that looks and appearance to please others and yourself is like a leasehold property. They won’t last. Looks and appearance are deceiving. They are like a show flat, pleasing to the eyes but they may not reflect the reality of a property. True beauty is a lifelong asset.


It’s not captured by the eyes or a photo but felt by the heart. It’s not evaluated by reflection from a mirror but the reflection of the people you touch around you.
Take a leaf from the beautiful things of nature. They do not compete and compare with each other. In their own ways, they brighten and enlighten the world around them.


Beauty, therefore, does not come from outward physical appearance but from a shining light in your soul.
It cannot be seen by the eyes but felt by the souls of the people around you. Beauty does not need attention. Yet, others will not get tired of looking at you.


The paradox of beauty is that the more you chase after it, the more elusive it becomes. When you start to be yourself and like yourself, you start to become beautiful.
Look for the beauty in others and they will start to see the beauty in you. Beauty comes out from deep within you and expressed in the way you think, talk and act for others.


Do you focus on your own looks or on the beauty you find in others?
When you live up to your best self and live to serve others, people will see beauty in and through you.
That’s far more important than looking at a mirror or a photo and definitely more worthwhile than the judges’ score cards in a beauty pageant.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
Therefore, beauty and love to a large extent are inseparable.
