saw this private blog post when I was searching for the Chinese poem that I wrote, I think a few years back, to convert it into PDF file and publish it on my wordpress. Thought to post "Beauty" here as once again the issue pops up, it was a bit late--this posting. And once again, if my tone comes across as much more than mild...

Another thing since this pops up more often nowadays than the other word. and I finally somewhat got back some of my energy, though I dont know whether it'll last for long. Definitions of a word differs from one to another depending on one's perspective. What is beautiful to one may not be beautiful to others. Some associate beautiful with personality etc. Some associate the word with physical appearance. One's self-esteem, confidence and attitude would affect one's aura. That's another factor for beauty. Why the saying nature's beautiful? In what way is nature beautiful? Is someone who had a good personality more beautiful than someone who is physically beautiful? What about the movie 'beautiful mind' then? What about those elders who toiled hard in the fields or construction site, whose hands and faces had weathered due to it? Then what about McCartney's "Vincent"? Is Vincent beautiful? Is his drawings beautiful? Is the meaning behind a minor action beautiful or an extravagant action more beautiful? Each individual has their own interpretations. By the way, it's just a reminder that there are individual differences. Thought that this may turn out to be quite hurtful to some ( especially with body and verbal language becomes unconsciously harsh), especially those who are standing in the corners if it progresses and the definition of beauty becomes more and more stringently physical, in the long run. that's actually how aneroxia and bulimia phenomenon started out. and I also reminded me of anne in the series of "Anne of...". She's not aneroxia though. It was the colour of her hair. And I think I wrote this too early but who knows whether i have enough energy left when it's required.

A Bible quote on beauty
1 Peter 3:3-4
“Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.” (NLT)
