Keeping Up Appearances

Informal Theme #8

            We are all beautiful because God made us. He only intends to make the most beautiful beings out of things. Make-up or whatnot are unnecessary. Yet, why are there some people who try hard to keep up their appearances? For instance, most girls freak out when they see themselves unattractive in front of a crush or whatsoever. Some, even Korean artists, undergo plastic surgery just to hide imperfections. Remember that these imperfections are creations of God. We’d later realize that these are somewhat useful because He did not tend to give us anything that would destroy our image. He wants what’s best for us. But what do we do? Why can’t we rely on our natural beauties? Why does the word “ugly” even exist in our vocabulary? No matter how much make-up you put on or how many of your body parts pass through surgery, your real appearance still lies beneath that skin. Genuine beauty lies in our hearts and how pure it may be.
