If it is true that beauty
lies in the eye of the beholder, then so does ugliness. Our actions,
inactions, and views about life are almost entirely based on our vanities and
personal convictions. It is always about us. Our lives are movies, and most of
us are excellent actors but horrible directors. We play our part fairly well,
putting our best feet forward when we can: smiling outwardly, yet suffering
inside. Extroversive introverts, suicidal comedians, lost shepherds; we are a
band of breathing oxymorons.
It
is perhaps acceptable to be "not good enough" according to another
person's estimation. The problem begins when we think we are ugly
(aesthetically or inwardly). It is inherently human to be self-deprecating, but
we can at least try to see (search for) whatever beauty dwells in us, no matter
how deeply buried.
Beautiful!
