Inner Beauty




Throughout history beauty has been described in many ways. Some people think beauty is vile others think is wholesome. Every century beauty has changed and has become a new meaning. But beauty doesn’t just come from humans; it also comes from nature, truth, religion, life and art. Beauty has come from a long way and it has been considered most of the time as something pure, clean, untainted and fresh.

According to  Journal of Personality and Social Psychology beauty wasn’t only defined as having good looks, but it was also defined as having inner beauty. Having inner beauty is considered oneself having kindness, sensitivity, tenderness or compassion. It is something that no one can physically observe. This shows that beauty has  many characteristics and attributes for many things. Like, nature is beautiful when its fresh green it looks nice and pure. Or even animals are sometimes attractive with facial features.
Beauty is considered as a very powerful weapon in society. It helps achieve more goals. It has a sense of success and inspiration. Throughout years and years people have seen fashion part of beauty and still in modern time see it as the “perfect” thing to be.

Beauty is what we believe and perceive as beautiful, whether it be because we follow the norm that society put out to be as beauty or we believe beauty to be something else. This means that beauty can differ from person to person or country to country. In other words beauty is sensory pleasure, so what I see as beauty you may not.

We find pleasure in a characteristic present in a person place or thing, that provides a perceptional experience of pleasure or satisfaction to our sensors which can be the mind, eyes which can be caused by a shape, color personality, sound etc. beauty is also used to commercialize. We see the societies perception of beauty everywhere. We see them in billboards, commercials, and on advertisement. This happens because humans are hungry for beauty and since beauty stimulates our senses, then it helps sell whatever is being advertised.

All women like it when they hear sweet words like “you are beautiful”. But the beauty of a woman is far from her looks or her figure. Inner beauty is important as well. When a women has a beautiful personality she has a blend of good manners, behavior, etiquette intelligence smile, sense of humor etc. all of this things that have nothing to do with the physical appearance also make a women look beautiful and make her more attractive.

Inner beauty which everyone admires is becoming a rare commodity these days. Outer beauty can be obtained by expensive surgeries and incommodities. Inner beauty, on the other hand can be obtained by the cleanliness of one’s actions, thoughts and feelings. It is what makes our personality and our character. Everyone has the capacity for beauty, but it is up to the individual to discover their own perception of beauty and how they can apply it to their every day life. Just how it is up to one’s self to determine our own beauty it is also up to the  individual to see the inner beauty of others and in life itself, and in order to accept and respect others one must accept and respect ourselves.
