Define beauty

Hi guys,

Lets talk about beauty.. what do you define as pretty/cute/hot/etc?
What is it about a person that makes him or her absolutely breath-taking? Is is her smile? Is it his hair? Is is her outfit? What needs to be done to become the belle of the ball? Or the prince from a fairytale?

Most people will tell you they judge others on what's inside; it's the heart that matters. Needless to say reality is hard-to-handle.. & although many will deny it.. 80% of how we perceive others are from their covers. Most of us are shallow and are not able to look beyond the mascara and eyeliner. Thus it becomes natural for the handsome guy to get the job promotion or the pretty girl to be helped first in line. But then what happens to the people that get left behind? I'll tell you this.. they will be overlooked and overseen.. always second-best standing right next to that "hottie" over there. Believe me, I've been there and done that..

I, myself, am now guilty of covering myself up in make-up and pretty clothes.. for what? To impress others? To gain approval? Friendship? A helping hand? I don't know.. I guess the question you need to ask to yourself is: How do you think about yourself? If you strip al the unnecessarities away.. do you like the way you are? Do you see your own true colours shining trough? Do you feel beautiful? Do you feel love?
