Why is our society so age biased? Why are our ads full of young, in-shape people with no grays and glowing skins? One would think that youth is synonymous with being beautiful.<br />One notices women trying so hard to fill up their lips, pull up their brows and eyelids, fill up their southward sliding faces and one can almost always tell that 'work has been done'. You are right, no body is looking younger, they just seem like they are all just trying hard to look young. It is not easy to trick nature.<br />Just how mismatched do plumped up lips look with a less elastic facial skin that gives away a woman's age right away. I can understand if those who rely on their looks for a living do this. I am sure everybody is entitled to indulge their vanity to some extent, but only as long as it is done intelligently.<br />Chances are, some of us will give into the temptation of turning back the clock, just a wee bit, but most of the time, we are only fooling ourselves.shunali shroffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128981159160729349.post-84440485947362413632012-06-17T19:47:05.329+05:302012-06-17T19:47:05.329+05:30It is such a beautiful read up that it made my eve...It is such a beautiful read up that it made my evening:) Thank you so muchAsghar Khanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627538757957305855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128981159160729349.post-81803712496419320762012-06-09T22:04:16.176+05:302012-06-09T22:04:16.176+05:30Oh! Never knew I need not wait till Sunday morning...Oh! Never knew I need not wait till Sunday morning to read your pieces! Am reading while my jaws recover from that dentist's shot. Narrowly escaped being 'sans teeth'.While no harm in trying to look younger (somehow I feel women have the right to remain beautiful!), I agree we should accept changes that time bestows upon us. The Georgian poet Irakli Abashidze suggested in his poem entitled "If you are true to your gift' that our gifts outlive us. Wonderful piece!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060398807966616127noreply@blogger.com
