Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder

Our society follows traditions strictly. The opinion and standards are made in our minds which makes everything rigid in our society. Idealism is another craze which drifts us away from the actual facts. We see things from above and ignore the inner side of the picture.

Beauty of any girl in our society is defined as fair, tall and slim. We do not include girls with little dark complexion but attractive features. We also never include girls as beautiful who are chubby.

Why we have a rigid thinking and particular mind set about the things? Why we have set beauty standards as fair, tall and slim? Females go out to search for a perfect bride by judging these things as beauty in a girl. Other qualities, skills, their nice behaviour and attitude are left unseen.

This has created a fuss and complex among girls which do not have these qualities. They feel guilty and complex of being rejected so many times. They are tired to be shown as a nice decoration piece in front of others. But still people see and reject them due to colour, height or weight.

This dilemma in our society is increasing day by day. Even when our society is changing somewhat from traditional one to modern then why we are not trying to bring positive changes instead of following those old traditions.

We females have to change our attitude and guide our brothers and sons that beauty does not just lie in physique, colour or height. It is much more than that. Skilful, active, well qualified and smart girls are more successful wives and mothers.

There is beauty in a pretty smile and caring eyes. No matter the physique whether chubby or slim. So much beauty is in this spectacular world and dazzling life but the true beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
