The Cost of Beauty

What has beauty come to? Look at the kind of society we are leaving in, why is it getting worse, why do people judge others on the way they look? Are looks really that important? Didn’t those people think that looks could be deceiving? All these questions came up to mind after seeing the “Plastic Surgery Loan” of the First National Bank (FNB).
Yes! It is a plastic surgery loan! It is very normal if you see some people issuing loans in order to build themselves homes, or others who get their loans from banks in order to get their businesses running. But Banks like the ‘FNB’ issuing loans to encourage people to do a plastic surgery is complete nonsense to me. I’m not blaming the bank for giving such loans but I’m blaming the society we are in, which lead banks and financial institutions to start to think that way. Nowadays we see a lot of our beautiful girls growing up trying to acquire bodies or looks of some fashion models/celebrities and ending up bulimic or even anorexic.
To these girls I say is it really worth it? Is shaping up your body worth your life? Is that what some girls are aiming for? We are in the 21st century and I get so surprised when I see so many people in this world that only care on the way they look! In my own opinion a person must have some self-confidence and not walk onto this fake world that most of our women are falling into. A small advice: Its not the way you look that will make you a better person it’s who you are.

P.S I’m not generalizing that all girls are like that I’m just focusing on the some who are so into their looks! By the way, this also applies to men who are just interested in thier appearances. Enjoy!
