“Having lived, for over two years now, half way across the globe from my home country, I have realized that beauty is as much subjective, as a collective term. It is the connotation for things/people/places that have received the approval of a certain group of people, depending on culture, personal preferences and era. With this approval, they seem to stand above others and gain more attention and privileges, making people compete to gain the status of being “beautiful.”
–Rut Einarsdottir reports from both Iceland and Japan
“Beauty is not a term that symbolizes outer appearance. The real beauty comes from within and reflects the character that we embody. Love, kindness, integrity and discipline make a person beautiful in the true sense. A beautiful soul is eternal and never decays. Beauty is a precious gift of God. So embrace your inner beauty and it will make you beautiful from the outside.”
