Beauty

So what is beauty? In the days of Facebook when everyone is beautiful to their friends n family. When an exotic holiday leaves u with pics that receive zillion likes, that make u feel attractive. Make u feel appreciated, applauded.

Is beauty youth, or skin color, or mystery, or desirability, or a smile? Or dark long hair, or blonde shiny hair. Or is it daily highlighted eyes? so noone knows what they really look like.

Or what's behind you, or what ur wearing? Or the country ur holidaying in? Or is it being a bride (fget grooms, one can't talk of beauty with reference to men, right? Unless they're gay maybe. Huh!!)?

Or is it the profile of ur loved one?

No, no its probably a good selfie.

Come to think of it. I haven't known a single beautiful person. Everyone looks good, well almost everyone. But then maybe I'm getting the rules of beauty wrong. Or maybe I need to have more empathy with others, and I'd agree with them that they're each beautiful. At least the lucky ones.
