Beauty and Culture

i bet its extremely painful ! how ladies in those days could have toletrated it ?

Angeline, an interesting bit of information, and as they say " Pain is Beauty" for some i suppose. But realistically, reasonably, and truthful. It had to be extremely physicaly painful and mentally painfull, allthough one might not want to admit, even back in the day. The same i believe rings true even today. What women & men also do to their bodies, from body piercings to plastic surgery etc.. All of these things bring with them physical pain, Which leads me too the mental prepparation. I find it quite odd that one could prepare for such pain to gain what they think may make themselves or someone else find them perhaps more attractive. And it is very true that we are creatures that our first line
of perception of another person is visual. Thus the saying " beauty is only skin deep" and this i like to believe carries a bit more weight, for what lies beneath the jewelry, botox, hair color too the silicone? Once you gotten beyond the pure vanity of all that, really, what is left?
The real person! I can only feel that this person has let them selves down if they are in some way rejected by a loved one or some they love.
Then which can lead too the..." i wish i had never done that" and then too other dissparaging feelings. That can be unhealthy in many ways.
Also on the other hand, it can give way too the, "well, perhaps if i add a little bit more it will make it better" It may or may not, in either case, the individual will need attenion in some way. I can go on at length but i think you see the picture. And with that you've gained a fan & friend if you wish. Sincerly; Jeri.
