Masculine vs Feminine

What's behind the meaning of "Masculine vs Feminine" you may ask? The answer is stereotyping. Ever since the olden days, girls and boys have been categorized as being tough or girlie. The toys that they played with, the things they did, the way they acted, all came down to what gender they were. Even in the modern day, females are supposed to play with dolls, be neat, and be dependent on others; however, the males are supposed to play with action figures, love violence, and be the ones that are independent. News flash, majority (not all) of men are dependent upon their wives to cook for them, do the laundry, and clean the house + have a job to top it all off. Now a days, most women are raised to be independent, and not need to rely on men to care for them. So maybe the values are changing as we grow up, but for the toddlers.. its all one big mystery. 

Perfection? Joke..

That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful. 

- Ninon de L'Enclos 

Beauty comes as much from the mind as from the eye. 

- Grey Livingston 

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. 

- Confucius 

What is beauty? There is no one definition to describe someone, something as being beautiful. However, the media has a different view on that. They find a way to manipulate & transform people into essentially being objects of a nightmare. Magazines edit the living s*** out of every image they have to make that certain celebrity or cover girl model look like some perfect creature; yet in reality, they're not nearly close to perfect. Perfection doesn't exist. Pre-teens, even adults have been brainwashed by the media since day one; and for some its a plastic surgery/eating disorder to late to restart their life, without having the media influence there daily lifestyle. But we are the future, we are the ones that can make a change. We must realize that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, different cultures, different aspects of life. Beauty will come and go, but whats in your heart and your head will remain there forever. We must stop this madness of having the MEDIA dictate our lives, and tell us what's wrong and what's right. What the latest makeup trend is, or fashion statement. Because in the end, we're losing ourselves.

Nature & Nurture..

These two words have far more of a meaning then most realize. Both of these concepts play a significant role in our life, and mold us to become who we are today. Nature is what every human-being was born with ex: ability to breath, blink & open/close the eyelids; however, Nurture is something that we are taught after birth such as, being able to chew foods, walk & talk. If the environment isn't "nurturing", then what is a possible outcome of the child? Feral Children. They adapt to their surroundings, and whatever they see (if anything at all) they follow. For example: The girl that lived with dogs majority of her life, walked like them, barked like them, even drank water/ate like them.

Nurture, is what guided us to become who we are today. The way we act, the way we do things is all based upon past experiences/lesson's that one has been taught or has gone through. 

We were born to die...

But most importantly, we were born to live. Throughout the past week, we had watched a movie by the name of Tuesday's with Morrie. In the movie, an old man by the name of Morrie was saying his last goodbyes to those who meant to him the most; because he knew he was going to die soon. Not only could his student, Mitch, not grasp the concept of him passing away, but he didn't want to either. All Mitch could think about was how many more days Morrie had to live, and what would happen when he passed away. How would he react? Would everyone be in complete despair? But what he seized to realize (on his own), is the life that Morrie lived. He lived the life, that most would have dreamed to have. Always being positive, and never looking back. Living his life to the fullest potential, and just enjoying every waking day he had with those who he loved and loved him back. Society now a days, is only focused on one thing. When death occurs they become blind to the bigger picture; and they forget to take the kind of life they lived into account.
