What beauty means for someone might totally differ from what it is for you. Beauty has been an abstract concept with having a vast array of meanings. Is beauty really what we see and understand it as? Is it the appearance of an individual? Or is it the characteristics or qualities that a person has? A type of processing and thinking makes us alter the subjectivity as there are more ways available to distort it, rather than to correct it. We might deny but if we think, it is something that we might have done it some point in our lives. We talk, judge and evaluate other people on the basis of how they look. We see so many people around us let it be actors, our daily acquaintances or people who are just there. Let us think and ask questions like what beauty is? Who decides that I am beautiful or not? Why certain standard are made for it? Who made these standards? How these standards are leading us to contribute in making us perceive ourselves in a faulty manner? Why do we look for validation for our beauty? Why there is a need for a second person to tell us that we are beautiful? Lastly and the most important one that, why do we compare ourselves with others? These answers could have various answers and the can be objective as well as subjective, but the key aspects should be rationality. In a way it was also about accepting the fact that there can be others who can be better than us. It was all about the way one looks and a particular standard that we all set for ourselves when it comes to perceiving us. Less did she know that comparing herself with others and trying to be the number one and that probably fetched her nothing but negativity and an irrational thought process. It was clearly evident that the queen was in awe of her beauty and considered herself to be on top when came about that. We must have seen Snow White or heard about the story when we were kids do we remember the learning that we gained from it or the message that queen spread? Most probably we don’t remember it and even if we do then we can think of it again and evaluate that thought. It raged the queen and all the hatred and jealously was seeded in her for Snow White. The lines were “Mirror mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all?” The mirror always responded that it was the queen but when one day when she asked the mirror the same question, the mirror showed that it was Snow White, who was the fairest of them all. This is a very famous line from the famous story of Snow White where the queen used to say this line to her magic mirror. You remember anything from this line? Anything crossed your mind it is something that we must have heard when we all were kids.
