This post is in reponse to Katie's question, "What do you think is beauty and do you find yourself to be a beautiful person?"
There is an old adage that says "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". I do not know if I actually believe in this saying. I think society has a set model of what beauty is. Beauty manifests itself in ascetically pleasing individuals. Beauty can also mean having a kind and warm demeanor and a solid sense of self. I believe that beauty is more about how a person acts towards others and themselves rather than physical appearances, but I am not naive enough to think that appearances are not important.
I have a hard time judging whether I think I am beautiful or not. I tend to think that only others can say whether someone else is beautiful. There are times when I really feel good about myself, and sometimes I have a hard time looking at myself in the mirror. I guess that at this point in my life, I have not figured out who I am yet, so I really cannot say I am a beautiful person because I am unsure of myself.
Q: Why do you believe the many artists (singers, dancers, actors/actresses are also considered beautiful?
