Perfection

We strive for perfection in everything we do. We have been taught to do this our entire lives.. take a bath, brush your teeth, make good grades, play sports, have friends, be active in the community, go to college, be rich and retire early.We've been taught to be the best. As we grow older, theres no wonder why we strive for perfection in the way we look too. It's not like we can control our physical appearance but by so much but TV and advertising has led us to believe we should be perfect. We want to look as good as the girl on TV because she's the one getting all the attention from that sexy man. Hello- It's TV.. It probably took that woman years and a lot of painful surgeries to look that good. Her looks don't make her any better of a person and personally I think she's an idiot for allowing people to mutilate her like that. It can't have a positive effect on her self esteem that they had to go through all of the transformations to make her pretty and it doesn't have a good effect on any other woman's self esteem either. We shouldn't strive for beauty, hygiene yes, but beauty no. Media, TV, and advertising have screwed up our perspective of beauty. Beauty is based on flaws because that is what separates humans as individuals.
