Apparently my eyes are too far apart and my nose is too wide. I laughed as I sat here and read my results to my mom.
It reminds me of a book series I started reading called Pretties. The story line centers around a society where when people turn 16 they have plastic surgery to make them "pretty". they are all basically made to look the same, but the kids look forward to this day and long for it.
It's a point of standardized beauty, where certain criteria have to be met. Your nose can only be so big, your eyes should sit only so far apart, your ear to nose ratio has to be just right. If you your proportions aren't symetrical, you are ugly.
Even though I know the book is fiction based (although, I do believe the author is purposely addressing a very real issue in our society), I see this standard of beauty showing up in nearly everything I encounter. I mean, I was just able to do a beauty analysis on my own face, doesn't that say something?
I guess my question is Why is symmetry considered beautiful? and who determines what is beautiful anyway?
You, my friends, are beautiful to me, no matter what anyone else says, and I know that God calls me beautiful no matter what else the world may say.
Peace be with you!
