Blog Entry #8 Hey You Are Looking Stunning! Lets Work on Personal Growth!
You are looking stunning! Now, that is a compliment that will turn a frown into a smile. Moreover, Society has expectations that people make to meet what looks stunning or what looks unattractive. If a person looks unattractive then the ignorant person will make an unnecessary remark. A compliment and a rude remark have two major impacts on people it is two extremes like hot and cold, however, for the people tunning into this blog please make a difference and do not be the ignorant person in society.
What does stunning look like? It depends on the person, for you may have a different view of what looks attractive than what others view. Every person has what I call the Shallow Hal effect. To elaborate, Shallow Hal was a man who seen unattractive women as attractive. Thus, Shallow Hal had his opinions on what was attractive to him, but in retrospect everyone has their opinions on anything. Furthermore, if a person cared what others think there will be no personal growth. The famous and influential martial artist Bruce Lee notes, "Freedom discovers the man the moment he loses concern over what impression he is making or about to make". Therefore, what Bruce Lee is highlighting is that if a person does not care about what others think about their appearance then there is true happiness in that certain person. Moreover, if you want to eat that doughnut you have on your counter eat it! If you want to talk to your love interest or if you want to jump in the air with happiness; do it! Do what you feel like doing as long as it is right and just because after all, it is your happiness that you want to meet as a goal; not others.
Nice post, I also am big on personal growth and think it is important to talk about. I also see the importance of not judging people by appearance and to think deeper into someone's situation. It is easy to like someone based on appearance but that always fades or can change due to how someone behaves. I love that movie Shallow Hal and I like how it shows that it is what is on the inside that counts.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how Bruce Lee fit into our post. He is absolutely right! I have never heard of Shallow Hal before so I did not know it was a movie. I will have to watch it when I have the time.
