Don’t you think that as a race, it’s about time we got back to nature?
We spend hours a day on our hair, pumping it with a million beauty products, pasting ourselves with makeup. Is it not time to stop? To say, hey! maybe that’s enough now? Apparently not.
There’s been a bit of a TV sparked debate about Botox recently. Haven’t heard it? Go back to sleep!
It’s pure vanity! It’s unbelievable vanity! I honestly don’t think I can express in words how repulsive I find the entire concept. Firstly, I have no respect for anyone who has undergone any kind of Botox treatment. Each and every person should be confident in their own skin. If you have to change your appearance so drastically, how can you possibly have that confidence, and any self respect? And if you don’t have confidence in yourself or respect for yourself, how can you possibly expect other people’s confidence and respect?
Secondly, it’s destroying something truly and purely natural. No matter how we were created, through some great universal explosion, or by the hands of God, we are natural, and I think that be manipulating this, we must be dealing in matters way over our heads.
I also think it’s just so stereotypically human. Why are we never happy with what we have? No. We have to change and improve things that are already right, already properly functioning.
Some people will say that Botox used properly is a step forward, a beneficial, scientific breakthrough. Meaning that Botox used to help people with body defects or disfigurements is a good thing. I still disagree. While I can understand why a person with a disfigurement might seek such drastic treatment, I still lose respect for them, for caring so much about appearance and for being so image absorbed. Botox is unnatural. There can be no two ways about it, and I think the further we deviate from the natural, the further we are from saving ourselves, from a world that seems to be crumbling around us as we stand and from ourselves; from our own greedy, self absorbed natures. Get back to nature!
