ConfeDENSEiality


As confusing as the above title may be, confedentiality seems to be skewed by the twenty-first century's newer views. There isn't an exact definition, and nowadays, confidence seems to be when a girl isn't afraid to show a ton of skin and the ability to cake on makeup with no regard for her true beauty. SoI'm wondering, what is true beauty? What does confidence mean? I've heard from many a wise person that those girls that show a lot more skin are in fact less confident, and feel that if they can show more, they'll feel better about themselves, similar to the bully principal of the bully having troubles of their own and deciding to take that out on others because they're less confident of themselves. To even the playing field and not just rat on girls, guys do similar things to "impress" girls, and feel better about their lack of personality: big guns, tight six-pack abs, and smooth skin. While that sometimes might be attractive, it doesn't exactly exude confidence. So what does that mean for a society that's constantly altering itself to meet others' needs? There are definite components that we all can change and make better, but it doesn't come easy. If we allow the DENSE part of our society shine, then we will never find the much more logical, experienced side that knows what true value and moral is. That may be the main point of this piece:that moral has been skewed, and is harder to define. But then again, complexity may just help us to find new morals we might never have thought of. But, in my opinion, true beauty in a woman or a man is when they don't have to show off everything they have, and when they shine from the inside out, not the outside in.

  1. Funny how I wrote about beauty this morning and you had written about the same? The people that can get beyond "Image" are always sucessful and admired because they have true "Character".
