We all know that looks fade, and that looks aren't what makes up TRUE beauty. So what do you think TRUE Beauty is?
I think that it's showing love to the people around you, and being kind and helping eachother out, and not being selfish. I think it means to put others before yourself and to make sure that everyone is safe and taken care of before yourself or your own. I find that true beauty lies more in personalities than in actual looks. Looks fade and change all the time, there's no point in even keeping up with it sometimes.

i've always thought that being beautiful means having lots of friends because we have a natural tendency to be attracted with persons who have physical beauty. but as of now i don't have friends but my husband. but that does not mean i am not beautiful. that is because i chose to be this way. i temporarily devoted myself to my kids and husband but i know that the time will come that i can emerge again and feel a revitalized beauty when i am able to interact to a lot of people again

I think that the social sacrifice that you made for your husband and kids by devoting yourself to them in itself is EXTREMELY Beautiful!! I find it so great to see people work on their families and love one another the way you have been showing with your family. COngratulations!

why thank you very much on the complement. I haven't heard that from anyone yet. You see, here in our place, mothers like me are not appreciated, especially my kinds who were able to finish schooling but decided to stay at home to devote the time fully for the kids and partner. although they may not say it in front of you, you will feel that they think that it is not a wise decision at all. however, i am greatful to find persons like you who think otherwise. Happy lotting!

I agree totally agree with you. beautiful is a subjective matter, but a trully beautiful person will be those who knows how to take care of others and not selfish. It doesn't matter if that person is very pretty but her heart is like the darkest ever. hei, there are many products nowadays that can help you to be beautiful and a beautiful person to me is also a confident person who knows what she doing and doing it for the right thing.

yes!! COnfidence is also very important, you are absolutely right. And it's true, with surgery and make up and lighting effects ANYONE can look beautiful on the outside, but if their personality is terrible it's as if they're an old hag.

to be truly beautiful ..
you should have confidence to what your doing ..
say your pretty and beautiful even if others dont think so ..
being truly beautiful is inside ..
not outside ..
because beaty inside reflect outside ..
looks fade ..
but personality dont ..
