At least that's what I keep getting told. I have received TV, internet, radio and billboard ads stating that it's obvious that I need plastic surgery. Today it landed in my mail, with my name on it and everything. So here's something I immediately wondered after making disparaging comments about plastic surgery and those who seek it. Do I hate it because I've never, myself, possessed the type of beauty that these people are trying to achieve/recapture?
I'm not ugly. I'd be downright pretty if I lost the weight. Let's move past that. Perhaps I really do feel that plastic surgery for anything less than massive disfigurement is a complete waste of time, as mother nature has a way of reversing that shit. Or, perhaps I have only managed to come to that conclusion based on the fact that I've had to come to terms with myself and my own inept beauty. Is a person forced into realizations about the world because they've never had the vanity that imposes stupidity on certain subjects?
Should it piss me off that doctors are getting paid to tell people that they are ugly and that they have a right not to be? "Here, let me fix that slightly irregular nose for you, my dear. I'd hate to see you miss your potential to be beautiful." Should I congratulate people who are able to change those things about themselves that have given them a pain of concern during their lives? I suppose that given the proper amount of pocket change, there are things about myself I would change. A little lipo here, a little electrolysis there, perhaps have my hymen reintroduced...
If society keeps changing itself to look like each other, eventually it will be physically difficult to find any difference in each other at all. That just isn't the direction that the world needs to go in. The bastards who advertise this shit could, at least, do me the favor of not throwing it in my face that I'm wholly unattractive and let me keep up the pretense that I'm ok with it. I like my bubble and would appreciate being left to decorate it as I see fit!
