What is beauty?

I get asked numerous times if I am good looking or not. I find that to be a interesting question in that what I find to be beautiful or good looking is not necessarily what the next person would find beautiful. Beauty is one of those things that can only be defined by the individual. While we many be able to agree on some general characteristics of beauty we will not agree on the same definition of beauty. What is also interesting is that what we consider beautiful can also be changed or enhanced many times to alter the true beauty of an object or person. Look at how many shows there are for Cosmetic Surgery. Is it necessary? Why are we so fixated on superficial beauty? Why do we have to try to conform with someone else s idea of beauty? Be grateful for the beauty you see and don't let others tell you differently.
