Beauty

Q: In what other ways do humans twist what is natural to seem more appealing?
-Brittany Guntor.


A: I think that humanity has done this the most with the natural concept of beauty. Beauty is said to be found in nature, and what humanity does is think that we can 'improve' or 'add' onto this natural beauty. I would not claim that humanity twists this beauty however, since to twist is synonymous with to corrupt. But what humanity does do, is change or mold this beauty. It is often viewed that since we change this beauty to our preferences, we twist it, but in reality, all we are doing is changing it. 
However, I do agree that sometimes one can go to far with the need to change things to increase their beauty, and mainly they do this with the body. Women inject venom into their face to appear younger, people spend thousands of dollars on surgery to thin oneself out or enlarge one's breast, men take steroids to appear stronger and more attractive. People starve themselves or undergo many forms of abuse in order to increase their beauty. However, now we are verging on the difference between attractiveness and beauty. 
Q: Is there a difference between attraction and beauty?
Q: Why do we believe that if one changes nature to suit one's desire, one is perverting nature?
