WHY THIS BOOK SHOULD BE PUBLISHED
The Ugly Face of Beauty
This book tells a story that will open the minds and hearts of those who live in the world of beauty, hoping that they’ll see beyond beauty and take notice of other talents and fine qualities that sometimes go unnoticed in people who don’t share the same interest as them. Beauty, popularity, wealth and perfection, how does this fit into our everyday lives?
In today’s society we are plagued by perfection. Just looking at all the glitz and glamour advertised in shops, magazines, television and fashion shows portraying perfect images of Models all made up to look a certain way is enough to make an ordinary person feel not good enough. And most teenagers are stressed out because they are not happy about the way they look and sometimes this could lead to stress, anorexia, steroid use, plastic surgery, slimming aids and drugs, all in the name of vanity. How vain are you and how far will you go in the name of beauty.
The world has become fixated on beauty and glamour and teens feel it the most. They want recognition and acceptance and compliments. And if they can’t meet the expectations of others then they are rejected, in a bad way. Cruel jokes and remarks, hate mail, ugly insults and much more which could lead to devastating results, like suicide, or sometimes become introverts living in an egg shell afraid to step out in society where prying judgmental eyes are roaming looking to pounce on them because they don’t fit in or meet their expectations. This book is a reality of what goes on in the minds of many who are beautiful, vain and flawless. It takes a hard look at beauty and the pain it can cause. What would you do if you lost your looks? Would you go down gracefully or would you reeve havoc on your body to perfect it, no matter what the cost. And what about inner beauty, does that count? Are you judging people on their appearance, their outer shell. Beauty comes from within. One can never judge a book by its cover. Open the book and read its contents. Same as, get to know the person, their character, see their personality through conversation, or by participating in some activity, together which is highly engaging. Vanity has become an obsession with many.
Can one also say that it is evil; being human and never satisfied with the way you are and how you look and taking beauty to the extremes? Evil comes in many forms. Is vanity one of the many obsessions?
Many will deny that fact. And beauty is a billion dollar thriving industry. Everyone wants to look their best, and that is good. However beauty has become competitive, expensive and stressful. Who was the best, outstanding lady and who was the worst? So the tabloids read.
Vanity is a cruel game. Today you’re hot, tomorrow you’re not, because you had one off day and now you’re history. “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the most fairest of them all? Wicked! Snow White is the purest and fairest.” Are we all living a lie? Are we true to ourselves? Or are people just living in fantasy land. What would you choose health or beauty? You’d probably say, both. But we simply cannot have it all. And many want to be fairer than Snow White. Ready to out shine the other one and be beauty queen, who’s admired, always, and refuse to be second best. People become jealous, envious full of rage, vengeful, angry, when the spot light fades from them and begins to shine on another. You’re so vain that you would go through the pain and then some … Are you just beautiful and nothing else? Using your well perfected body and beauty to get by. Does that still work in today’s society. Are we programmed to think that beauty rules over everything else. Anyway beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What appears to be unattractive to one person, may appear very beautiful to another person. It’s the way one sees a thing. God made us all
