the thing with the Ideal

Today i'm gonna write about the Ideal of beauty...

The Ideal of beauty of man... how a human being should look like...

Well, somehow the thinkin' about this thing has changed in the last 100 years in a way I am not sure if it is really good.

To go straight to the goal...

today the most think they should look like the ideal. The most seem to think they have to do everything to look like the ideal... well once people understood that an ideal is unreachable...

but today everyone seems to think that it is actually possible with all the plastic surgery and beauty products.

Well, people in the past knew that an ideal was something which shows the times idea of what is beauty and what do they think is the ideal...

They knew it was not to reach and never thought about reaching it, because it was an ideal, just an idea, just a thing which comes out of a discussion, of a meeting of painters, philosophers and thinkers. It has nothing to do with the reality. They knew that and so the Ideal changes in time. Think about Rubens, Michelangelo, the beauty of the plastic David, or the things we found of the stone age... all different, all just ideas of what is the ideal but never what you have to be. Yes they tried to be beauty and did a lot to make them self nice, but it was kind of buy nice clothes, have nice jewelry and show the inside out... the inner beauty of a man, of yourself... how much money you have, how much good you are in bed and kinda like this.

But today, we not only have one ideal, it also changes quickly and we have for everything an ideal.. like Barbie, Models like Heidi Klum or Naomi, for each fetish group the ideal fetish guy or girl... or some kinda star seems to be it... an ideal for black people, white or asian...

Isn't it confusing? And why do so many try to be like it? We'll never will look like a Barbie, how much you try, it is not possible.. but why should you... ?! You have a beauty...inside and outside, it's just to find it and bring it out and show it... no matter what the ideal is, because the ideal is just an idea, nothing we will ever be..just remember that....

At my work I meet a lot of people and I always find some beauty and if it's just a hidden beauty.. I see it. I think we all should learn again to see it.

Look in the face of someone, or search for some nice details in the hands or other parts of the body or how a man moves... or is it the smile or a blink of an eye... or maybe the strand of hair that swirls itself.

If you try this, you always can see some beauty, no matter if it is a child, a father, an old lady or the foreign and strange stranger next to you... and when you'll find it... smile.. just smile....
