Thursday, November 17, 2005duck or swaneveryone is all too familiar with the ugly ducking tale. how the ugly ducking is osteracised because it looks ugly. how even the animal kingdom is hang up about appearance. but the last laugh goes to the ugly ducking, which transformed into a beautiful swan. yes everyone wants to look good and be admired in some ways. or in some ways hope that you can look better. but humans dun transform into another more beautiful being. if you are born this way, you will look this way. for us, it's not a case of mistaken identity that can fulfill the hope of becoming more beautiful. it's going under the knife. you can change what you are born with. and in fact one need not undergo such a drastic measure to look beautiful. little grooming, make-up, beautiful clothes, you can be a swam for a night anytime. so you are still the ducking, but just made to look like a swan. just got catch up with the latest buzz about a girl who looks like she's straight from heaven or hell, but apparently she will not be where she is now without the visit to the aesthetic surgeon. well nothing wrong with wanting to look pretty, and man did she get more than that. but it makes me think with the growing affluence and the societal pressure from a lookist society, will every ducking come out looking like swans? you cant blame anyone from wanting to look more like the people around them. to be part of the pack. so if everyone starts looking beautiful, you'll want to too. especially when you know that they were like you too. so it's a world of pseudo-swans then. well it's ok to use a few swan feathers and tricks to beautify yourself but trying to grow a long neck for it is another matter altogether. it's knowing the extent of the desire to be someone or something else. yes i admit i can be a swan-wannabe too. how i glance at fashion magazines admiring the swans. but i too want to be an owl-wannabe. wanting those wisdom. a cheetah-wannabe too. we are all wannabes in one way or another. if you think that you're the most perfect being on earth. good for you and good luck to you. amaranthine froze in time on 4:24 PM |
it does not take much effort to see past the mundane and notice the little details in life
