Has the worlds definition of beauty ever jaded you?
I suppose that it has. Often times I see myself through wordly eyes. Vanity. The two areas that are infected the most, and most often, for me are the way that I dress and they way that I see others. The world tempts me to cherish my own beauty, my body and my sex appeal. Since I was very young I have been aware of my body and it's ability to affect others. As a girl maturing in my faith and understanding of my God I am cherishing modesty and femininity more than the sexy, cleavage-bearing self I was in high school and especially middle school.
They way that I see and think about others is also sometimes jaded by the worlds standard of beauty. It's with so much ease that I can think that I am prettier, or not pretty enough, compared with other girls. Their bodies, their style and personality all fall under attack. And that is truly ugly. Honestly, I'd love to see the beauty in all people. No interest in what is different, good or bad about them. Because we are all under one God, and that one God is the only who has any goodness or authority to judge! Who am I to play God?
