Beauty Is Illusion

Empowering beauty and its ultimate reality in  today's world!!!

Roses have thorns. Sometimes in the urge to pick that beautiful flower we forget the presence of thorns. And finally when we get pricked by them, our conscience shows up and we wake up from the lure; the lure of the pretty roses. And as their color fades away, petals falls off, they suddenly become ugly to us.Certainly, not as pleasing as it used to be. The reason I took the reference of roses is because they are sort of metaphor for the word 'beauty'. And I just wanted to draw a conclusion which is the main idea of this whole article i.e, 'BEAUTY IS ILLUSION'.

We human beings fall for attractive things in life, THOSE PRETTY SHOES, THAT BEAUTIFUL DRESS and sometimes humans too: THAT HANDSOME GUY, THAT CUTE GIRL ;)
We forget that there's much more than  to a person's appearance.. It not really our fault actually. Fault is in the environment around us and maybe in our eyes too. Yes, in our eyes. If you have ever noticed we go for things that look pretty and attractive. We tend to choose things that are better in appearance and may not be at all worth keeping from its INSIDE QUALITY. There has been moments when we have regretted buying some good looking objects that later proved to be a total waste of money. And there has also been other surprising moments where things we didn't have much expectations with, proved out to be a total LIFESAVER!! That goes for people too. Be it relationships or friendships, we want 'good-looking' people to be our company. And often been hurt or deceived by such 'good-looking' people at some points in our lives. This doesn't go for all of the people though. But half of them are for real 'illusionists'. Our eyes are hell of a judgemental thing. But what we see is not always the same in reality. We tend to choose appearances over REAL beauty that is intelligence, humor, creativity, talent,abilities and most importantly A GOOD HEART. These are real treasures and they last for a long long period of time. It is said, 'Never judge a book by its cover' and this proverb has a good message to all of us that the outer package cannot define the inner reality. Because what is OUTSIDE may not be the same INSIDE.

The most attractive people we know will get aged; as a matter of fact get wrinkles, loose their charm and become 'unattractive' with the passing time.  So beauty is somewhat illuminating. It just creates an illusion that you become curious for and finally leaves you disappointed when you find that the reality had nothing to do with what it looked like at the beginning. Yes, beauty is alluring but can be very deceiving...It looks promising but may not always be as per your expectations. Sometimes the dumbest looking thing can be a genius, the weakest looking thing a hero and the ugliest looking thing a Tom Cruise! (wink wink *_^)

Don't let your eyes fool around again and choose things with a better view...Rather go for things  that's going to stay for a lifetime. Go for reality than virtuosity. Wrapping this up i would like to add a favorite quote of mine at the end: “Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.” ― Mark Twain
