This statement - “Irregular beauty is the real beauty” made me stop and ponder.

What is beauty? How do you define it? Is there even the right definition to it? Yea, the dictionaries, they define beauty perfectly but what is beauty beyond that statement? To what extent is beauty quantifiable?

For instance, plastic or they call it the cosmetic surgery, is it even against the law of nature? Where one is just trying to change the features they are blessed with? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to look beautiful but of course that all depends on how one view beauty as. Some are against the idea cosmetic surgery or digital retouching, whereas some embraced it like their new version of god! Recently there was a new computer software/program developed by computer scientist in Israel to alter the features of a person with some mathematical calculation/equations by adjusting the features a few inches away and so on, and even this had raised the questions on the perception of beauty and the ideal beauty.

I’ve nothing against cosmetic surgery nor support it but I think what we’re blessed with, the irregular beauty is the real beauty. We can’t set a benchmark on what is beautiful and what’s not for the perception of beauty lies in the eye of beholder.

People often say beauty is only skin deep. I’d agree on that but the question is - is all physical beauty superficial? I’m pretty sure those with skin deep beauty would want what most people call it – external beauty as well,( if they think they are not pretty). I personally don’t think all physical beauty is superficial. To me, beauty and superficial are just another noun and adjective in the dictionary. I don’t think one can measure beauty let alone judge what’s beautiful and what’s not, especially when it comes to human as the subject.

all I wish is I could have some sort of computer program to knock off many inches =P

but you raise good questions. If I was feeling all phylosiphal right now, I'd answer them lol. I also KNOW I butchered that spelling :)
