Day 360: Price of beauty

If there is one thing that I've learned in my subjects in my first semester in UPLB is that they all anchor in one thing: human dignity. They all seek to build great things and put things into retrospection for the sake that people will feel confident in themselves. Social development aims to build up human dignity. History gives that sense of identity. Community planning gives that comfortable way of living that we all want. Ethics provides arguments where we could flourish and see our value as an individual. Human ecology showed how we are all interconnected to one another. Huma family development is a statement how valuable we are as an individual let alone being a member of a family. Human kinetics is about taking care of yourself while enjoying the life outside. Disciplines that may seem vastly different but overall they just build up the dignity of a person in order to thrive. However, some people fail to use this dignity in proper application.

Which bring up to our topic for this post: The price of beauty. Beautiful people often does not know the true feeling of love or maybe they do not have the concept of being loved in deeper introspection. Often, the lovers they have only want them to build their ego. As they can show off this attractive person to the public and maybe brag to a couple of friends and relatives about them. This craving to feed the much worse ego is often misunderstood for love. They weren't loved in the first place, they were just good for their ego. Good for covering up insecurities. They say that it takes courage to love, but it is depressing to know that cowards have it the most.

I've seen the prettiest of girls and guys crying over questionable creatures. They keep asking why they were cheated, lied, left without a word, and loved for a moment then decided they just don't. But as a matter of fact, they weren't love in the first place.the love did not disappear, it just never existed.

Another price of beauty is that people does not bother knowing you deeper because they love what their eyes see. They would disregard everything you do and put you in the highest pedestal where they even set the standards for you. You have to act like this and like that. It's as if you cannot make a mistake because you are appealing to the eyes and people or even your lover would not believe that you can make mistakes. 

The price of beauty in love is too high as you can never be certain if that person really wants you or they just want what's best for their ego. Maybe if we can see souls instead of faces, imagine how different we see love then.
