“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” This saying first appeared in the 3rd century BC in Greek. It didn't appear in its current form in print until the 19th century, but in the meantime there were various written forms that expressed much the same thought. This famous saying implies that everyone has their own definition and recognition of beauty. What is seen as a marvel to one person might be the complete opposite to another, just like a dress that I found very beautiful but my Mum found it not at all nice which explains the saying “One man’s garbage is another man’s treasurer” (Aighearach).Beauty… some people believe that beauty is all physical, having great looks, having all the guys and girls fawning all over you because you are the hottest bloke or chick in the school or wherever you are. Some people believe that beauty is the clothes you wear, the make-up you put on. I say those things are just physical beauty. Inner beauty is of the heart, it’s the person you are, you actions and reactions to other people, your way of life. Inner beauty is the beauty of the heart, being selfless, reliable, loving and caring and always willing to help even if you don’t know the person. Real beauty is about always being willing to assist anyone even if there is nothing in it for you except the pure pleasure of seeing satisfaction, content on the other person’s face, that person has inner beauty. It represents goodwill and kindness. Reading novels is a pastime for me, and I get so much information from it. My favorites are romance novels. One of these novels, Simply Love by Mary Balogh, shows a meeting between two lonely, wounded souls. Anne is a single mother in strict Regency England and Sydnam severely maimed as a result of torture whe... ... middle of paper ... ...he acted all lovey-dovey and at the end, her husband confessed and begged for her forgiveness out of guilt and their marriage was good. On the other hand, a lady my mum knows was put in the same position of her husband cheating. In her case, her husband comes home late and she heard rumors too. She saw her husband with his secretary and assumed them of having an affair which turned out wrong. At the end, their marriage got destroyed because unlike the other lady, she didn’t ask questions and she wasn’t patient. The way first lady projected her inner beauty was by being patient and waiting for the husband confess instead of coming out right and accusing him. Always remember, physical beauty doesn’t last forever but inner beauty does and it’ll make you the happiest person on the face of the earth and it might even spread to the little part of the world you can touch.
