Why

I guess I am pretty old fashioned, and down to earth. Because I really don't understand why it seems like just about everybody any more, is not happy with their looks. What ever happened to being content with what you were given? I realize a lot of people aren't natural raving beauties, but so what? You have a lot of company out there, and will never be alone in the fact that you look like an ordinary every day person. 

Who is qualified to say what is, and isn't acceptable in the looks department? Who decided that an hour glass figure, long, straight blond hair, perfect features, and blue eyes, should be the ideal woman? I don't understand. Everyone's ancestors came from different backgrounds, with different traits,  features, and way of life. Why is that no longer good enough? I think we should be happy with the variety offered in our mixed cultural society.

Red heads can be beautiful, as can green eyes, brown hair, hazel eyes, black hair, gray eyes, blond hair, blue eyes, curls, waves, or even hair straight as strings. What is the problem? And why is a wrinkle or two, earned throughout a joyous, happy, or even a troubled life, considered a defect? I understand that having excess pounds on the human frame can, in some instances, lead to problems. But if a person has a few extra, and they are healthy, why should they be made to go to extreme measures because of the rude comments, and actions, of others? If it was as easy, or pleasurable, to lose weight, as it is to gain it from all of the good food out there, I'm sure there would not be as many overweight people.

Even with the different nationalities, whether your skin is white, brown, black, yellow, or red, it is a natural gift. Basically, we are all similar beneath the surface, and should be more patient, understanding, and accepting of each other. We can't help the way we came onto this Earth, so why should we be tortured, or abused, because of it. Unfortunately, there are those in all races who give their brethren a bad name, but lets not misuse all because of the mistakes of a few. Fortunately, I don't have to deal with a lot of the world's injustice, because I choose to live a calmer, less crazy existence out in the country.
