The myth of beauty

The following is a Guest Post and may not be in line with the philosophy of Our Alter Ego. I just wanted to give people the opportunity I always thirsted for but never got, which is a platform for expression. I hope you appreciate the endeavours. 
Be Light, 
Much Love,

Being beautiful for women was and is still a trend that most of us follow. What do we not do to look perfect so that people are attracted to us? We have to take care of our skin, our body, our hair, and our nails. We put on makeup. We follow strict diets and do extreme workouts to get the desired body. Despite all the 'struggles' many of us still feel insecure about ourselves. Why is it so?
      When questioned some women replied that they when they would not wear makeup they were not given enough attention as those who wore them. Now that they wear makeup to be approachable many of them are treated as 'attention whores'. In the so-called educated world we live today how can we treat women like this? It is unfair to judge someone by his /her appearance. There are various reasons as to why women wear makeup. First, girls of today just love makeup as it enhances their beauty. Some girls wear makeup to hide imperfections or scars. Some girls do not even wear makeup. This does not describe anything about a person's character. Beauty comes from within. You do you.
        Also, many women compare themselves from each other. There are some women who think that others are more beautiful than them although all the efforts they make. Well, you should stop doing that. I firmly believe that each of us are uniquely beautiful. No one is born perfect and we have to accept who we are. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and according to me every woman is beautiful. So brace yourself and get ready to conquer the world with your beauty.

If a guy stares at you for a long time while smiling does he like you?

There's this guy at my work who I've been starting to get to know better, and I've noticed that every time he sees me he always gets this big smile on his face and he stares at me all the time. He has this look in his eyes that I can't really explain but it seems like he's fascinated or dreamy. Plus I'll be doing something and I'll look over at him and catch him looking right over at me, and he just smiles and I smile back. Today as he was leaving work I saw him from a distance but I didn't say anything because I wasn't going to shout across the parking lot, and he just developed this big smile while looking right at me, and I couldn't help but smile too. Then he came over and we talked a little before he left (he seemed nervous and he's kind of dorky, but I think it's cute) I don't know, I just feel like he stares at me just a little longer than any other person. I was wondering if this could mean he likes me? ...

Comparing the lifestyles of celebrities and ordinary people

Disney’s TV Show Hannah Montana depicts the female protagonist’s choice of leading an ordinary life despite being a celebrity. The show fluidly walks us through the distinct lifestyles of a celebrity and that of an ordinary person in terms of their set of values, ways of life, activities and attitudes. Whether celebrities and ordinary people are truly different would require a close diagnostic. The first thing that comes to mind when discussing celebrity and common man’s lifestyles is luxury . From the sports industry to the entertainment industry, from politicians to business tycoons, the mantra “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” seems to be painted all over the walls that frame celebrity life. Because of the power and extraordinary amount of wealth they have, celebrities live a life that the normal man can only dream of. For instance, with real-estate assets worth more than just a few million dollars across the world, celebrities have better vacation options than an ordi...

Because being honest and being frank are two poles apart!

   *I have been meaning to write this since 3 weeks now.* I wonder why people take it for granted that they can do anything to you and say anything to you! Honestly, how can people be that honest?! I don't get it! Now, just so that I get over this- we had rather just start! , I think that each one of us has been frank at least once in our life!  Frankness broadcasts itself as a means for people to soothe their inability to contain their comments.  Because want it or not- Frankness in comparison to honesty is a bad thing. Basically because being frank hurts the object and makes the subject feel good, whilst honesty-well honesty is good for both! Being frank is a stupendo fantabulously fantastic thing for many of us. It's been for me. Mainly because it allowed me to believe that I existed and it made me feel good- it made me feel good because I could put my opinions forward. But to be honest, I don't it's been the best thing to do!  Frankn...
