Beautifull people....

A while ago I read something that made me sad. On another network I liked a profile picture a member had posted. 

He commented that  me and and another member were free to like it but that he himself thought he looked like a total wreck and that he was very unhappy with that. 

The person in question did not look bad at all but this is not the point; it made me said because it shows little self esteem. On this particular network I was an admin so I did not have to vote for points since I already had all benefits. Even if I wasn't  would never like it just for points. 

When i like a profile picture I do that because I associate the picture of that person with his/her actions. I do not care if he looks like Adonis or a troll; if he has enriched my life in any way, I will vote for it. 

I think partly commercials are to blame sending out the message you need to be young, slim and beautiful. I think it is sad that many people are unhappy because they do not fit in that perfect picture. It is a lot of BS in my opinion. 

I have many friends and relatives that are fat, wrinkled or plain ugly. But I love them because they enrich my life. I am also not miss World but I know they love me. So I am not spending any money on face lifts and expensive cosmetics  to make me look better. I only spend money on soap and the hair dresser. 

I would lie if I would say i would not like the figure back from when I was 18. But I am not unhappy because I can't. I do not think less about myself because of that, nor do my friends and relatives. 

As for the rest of man kind that judges me by my looks, I don't care less; I think they are narrow minded and shallow.
