have been greeted by screams of
'michael jackson, micheal jackson'
many a times
as people try hard
to box me within known parameters
yes he has had a lot of plastic surgery
in his quest to look like
the eternal boy, peter pan, krishna archetype
only to end up looking like a ghoul
i on the other hand have been
as i was born
those berefit of beauty
kid themselves with lines like
'beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder'
they cannot fathom the concept of
'absolute' in beauty
such beings are at unease
with the concept of
'absolute' in anything
no prizes for guessing why :)
but if one pays close attention
to all these external devices like
make-up & plastic surgery
which happen to be the biggest industry on the planet
they reveal the quest for
a very singular
'look'
there is a spoken & unspoken universal understanding of
how eyes, eyebrows, eyelashes, jawline, nose
face/body symmetry, skin colour, skin texture etc. should be
and thats what makeup tries to
bring out in those who don't have it naturally
the more demonic go to the extent of plastic surgery to
get closer to that 'look'
it isn't without rhyme or reason
a particular race is continuosly
burning itself in the sun
to get to a certain shade/colour
a whole lot of frustration/depression
results from
not making it
no matter how hard they try
the fact that
'the look' is the result of internal functionings
& cannot be reached through externalities
is either not understood
or not faced
