BEAUTY - IDENTITY THEFT

In a restaurant, sitting by my self, mind my our damn business like a good lady I think I am, these two ladies walked in. All loud and all, acting like "Hey y'all, notice me pleaseeeeeeeee don't you think I'm pretty , well, on a Jesus Day I pretend that nothing is wrong and just give the sweetest smile. But this day wasn't a Jesus Day and my church mind wasn't functioning. 

I was about to shhh, those ladies to please be a little civilized or pretend to be at least but d'maitre beat me to it.

But really, I ask, what is beauty? 

The definition of beauty differ from person to person. Ain't people say, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?

Looking at these two ladies, hmm well, they are not hurtful to the eye. But truth be told somewhere not to far, is yet another lady who will definitely beat these ladies hands down. 

So if you think you are a beauty, here is a wake up call for ya! There will be someone somewhere out there, that is more beautiful than you and to make it worse, will come with the total package...so how about that? In your face! 

That's why I don't understand or get it, why some people bully others because of the way they look, colour of their skin or even their belief. It simply shows how shallow the mind of man is. Just sad.

Really if only people understand that we are all ugly and beautiful at the same time, they would understand that the prettiest of us all, still has a prettier person to make us feel ugly.

For me, beauty is like a bowl of beautifully made salad, veg or fruits, it don't matter, without all the various forms the veg/fruits salad will be just another tomatoes or Apple.

You get the point?

Just the fact that one is different is beauty to me. 

So let me also illustrate it to your this way, there is this guy who thinks he is all that. Bought this amazing car, built this magnificent house, even married the hot 'chick'. Only that ten or even maybe twenty years down the line, the car, big house and even the girl, are irrelevant because someone else is in town with a much better car, much bigger house and hotter chick! Nothing lasts, NOTHING! Even those people who spend their money rebuilding themselves in the name of so call plastic surgery (the word is REBUILD - So apology to those who actually need it medically to FIX  one thing or the other).

The way we see ourselves will forever fade, there will always be someone or something out there, much better.

It's called evolving and recreating!

I really don't know if humans are meant to learn from the past, obviously I don't think so.

Stay true and real to yourself.

Don't be the cheap version of your original!

Peace

I REALLY NEED TO BE NAKED WITH YOU, PLEASE!

Now that I have your attention, maybe you guys can help me out here.

I have been pondering on this specific issue for a while now and i feel in my gusts that I am not alone on this.

The thing is that everywhere and everything you go or/and do in this world, perception seem to be a major factor, if not the very thing, people use in accessing who or what you are.

Ever heard of first impression last! Yep, that's it. 

So I ask is perception always right, or it is just a limiting factor, people need to get pass in order to see the real thing?

This 'Perception' thing is so major that every, if not all, organization channel a lot of energy and fund towards it. It is so huge that people have allowed this control their personal lives as well. Why, won't it? People run organization, don't they?

Anyways, the very issue i have with this 'Perception' thing is that, it has made it so difficult for people to distinguish between the 'REAL' and 'the FAKE', if you know what I mean.

Okay, let me break it down. Because people are been judged by perception, people generally work on themselves (even organizations are guilty of this) to be something or someone else as oppose to what or who they truly are. 

Please don't get me wrong, perception is a good thing - if not the Branding industry and the likes will not be doing so well but I'm not going to get into that today. Perception is really understanding who you really are than who someone else is. Don't know if you get my drift?

What I really want to understand is, why is something so good, be so wrong? 

The concept of perception is something I do not totally agree with, well for one, first impression is not always right and because it worked in one doesn't necessarily mean it will work for another. That is to say, 'What is good for the goose may not always good for the gander'. Sometimes, what we perceive may just be limited by our knowledge and understanding of that thing or that someone. 

So why based your conclusion on what you perceive only once or twice even besides, what makes you think your perception is right anyway?

I guess what I am trying to say is that the concept of perception has made us so judgemental that people are forgetting to be who they truly are. In order words, 'fake-ness' (lack of a better word) is the order of the day. Fake relationship, marriages, lives, parts of the body. Every one prefers to be a cheap replica of themselves.

So, Why can't I get naked with you? I want to reap off all the fake masks I'm wearing and be my real self. I don't want to be a stereotype, I just want to be me. Breathing the fresh air of being myself means freedom, happiness and longevity.

Conversely, Life is too short and complicated to play someone else or worse be someone else because someone says so, don't you think?

 

If you go back to one of my blogs titled 'A CRY FOR HELP' though it was about my favourite artist, Whitney Houston, you will discover that this perception thing has gone a little too far.

Pressure to be perfect in an imperfect world, how ironic is that. If truth be told people want to be free, they want to let lose and most importantly they want to be naked when it matters, which is, most of the time, if you ask me.

Perception without judgement, results in people airing their opinions without the fear of been reprimanded thus making them true to themselves and their environment at large. 

So I ask again, may I get nake with you? 

So real and so true
