Food for Thought

Here are two opposing sides. Look deeply before you decide which one is right.


From a poster I saw in Downtown Provo:

Beauty needs to be defined as what we are. If defined as anything else, it becomes an enemy. It creates a goal that we destroy ourselves in order to recreate, only to find no lasting substance. If we are not beautiful, then beauty is a vice.

Words found the diary of Dr. Steinmen, a fictional plastic surgeon from the world of Rapture portrayed in the game of Bioshock (who says games aren't deep?):

When we have the abilities and capabilities beauty ceases to become an objective or a goal. It is no longer something to strive for or be admired. It becomes an obligation. You wouldn’t allow the leprous to walk among the healthy if you could cure him. Then why are we allowing people with less that perfect features to mingle among the beautiful and perfect? Why are we allowing our society to be tainted with a disease that we have the ability and resources to cure?

Something to think about.
