Beauty & Perfection

Men have been constantly looking for beauty and perfection through generations. We do no matter what to look beautiful and perfect. We all put our body under great sacrifice, doing painful things, which some pain we never thought we would be able to take. Some of us go real deep in this idea and even do surgeries to try to achieve this beauty and perfection. Some of these surgeries are to change the way we look; some are to take some of the “weak” parts of our bodies and place it with much stronger robotic ones; and other to change our genders. This idea of beauty and perfection that we try to achieve is not something solid or that have a universal meaning. It is a very abstract thing that varies from one person to another and the meaning to it varies from one person to another also. Trying to solidify this meaning or make it universal have being making many people really frustrated, because they end up felling as if they are trying to catch the wind. Some will feel in some point unappreciated by someone and that it was pointless to try to find it, mainly when they do it to impress others. Some others will just feel that they’ve achieved it just for a small period of time, because their body will react to it or continue showing the age and they will feel that it does not have an end. Total beauty and perfection of the body is something almost impossible to achieve at this time, it is still an abstraction thing and it will continue being.
