Some of our greatest thinkers, artists, and scientists have grappled with the question of what makes something beautiful. Is it the packaging? The color? The scent?
We tend to think of beauty as physical attractiveness, but there is a growing movement to celebrate real beauty. This means embracing your unique qualities and strengths, not in spite of them, but because of them. It means being positive, not negative. It means encouraging others to be themselves, not because it’s easy, but because it’s the right thing to do.
The truth is, we don't see the world as it really is. Instead, we tend to see only the world as we'd like it to be. That's why we have such a hard time accepting ourselves and others as we really are. We'd rather be surrounded by beautiful, positive people than by reality.
Being positive is an important trait of a great leader. But real beauty is being a positive force for good in the world, not just on the surface. This means being willing to take on difficult but necessary tasks and not shying away from showing your true self to the world. It also means being honest and authentic, without fearing to make mistakes or say things that might be unpopular at the time.
We often hear the term “real beauty” thrown about, but what does it mean? In a society that is obsessed with appearance, we should all be looking for the real thing. The catch is that real beauty is not just about the way someone looks, but also the way someone behaves. It’s about being kind and considerate and generous, not just to other people but to the planet too.

2 年This is a beautiful topic to debate, hahaha. In my view there are two very important aspects of beauty for any living thing to prosper and both the aspects are important. Both share equal role. 1. Appearance: Out of all the living creatures on this planet, we, humans evolved into greater intellectuals, we have great memory power and acute sense of imagination, so we are always thinking there is other side of the coin as well (i will cover this in 2nd aspect of beauty). But most of the living things can't see other side of the coin and solely rely on appearance. Like there are many animals and birds that make love only dude to their appearance, this how they are designed to think or we can say unfortunately limited sense, and this is natural. Now, let's come to humans, we can't deny natural attractions, you are designed in that way. But, making it the ultimatum is not good, i agree with you. 2. The other side of the coin:- Looking at fellow life just as it is, no matter in what form it may be in, it plays it's part in this continues evolution. This, most of the humans realise after certain age in their life, mostly when the hormonial effect takes the back seat, and they start working towards the so called real beauty.
