Beautiful Mind Better Than A Fair Complexion

Someone said true, “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” This saying conveys that the importance of inner beauty than the outer looks. But is it truly followed by the society especially ours? In India people are so obsessed with fair complexion that they rejected the girl for marriage just because of her dark complexion. When we read matrimonial advertisements, it is really very annoying that everyone wants a fair complexioned bride. Indian society seriously follows Ads shown on TV. High sale of all fairness creams is also an indication of people’s obsession of fair complexion.

The society has changed the definition of beauty, nowadays it is only meant as clean fair complexion. Someone is said to be as beautiful if he/she has pure and beautiful soul, who think beautiful, who do good deeds. Beauty exists in the mind. Outer beauty fades away soon as the age increases, beauty is temporary. Internal beauty is eternal. A person is judged by his/her character, nature, thoughts. If you have seen Miss World 2017 finale contest, there were 5 finalists. One of them was Magline Jeruto, Miss Kenya, a dark complexioned girl. If the complexion would be the component of beauty, would she be among the top finalists?

Our skin is just a wrapping paper of our body, which are in different shades. It will become shrinked, wrinkled and scares as we go old. What is there in us means a lot. It defines one’s character. Our behavior in society, our acts of kindness, compassion and gracefulness, all reveal our inner beauty.

Complexion is natural. People spend a lot in buying fairness creams and face whitening products and expensive therapies. The thinking should be change. The thinking often loses the confidence of dark complexioned people. They often suffer from racial discrimination in several areas. Even the most beautiful, fair, flawless person seen as ugly after knowing his/her bitterness in nature. It has to be understand by usthat complexion is not the basis of judging a person. Beauty doesn’t mean good looking. Social, economic, political and humanistic parameters define a person rather than the colour of their skin.

Ironically, it is in total contrast to people in western countries who are naturally very fair and they intentionally sun their body to get their complexion tanned. There is a demand for dark look in west countrie
