beauty

haa... cantik tak keira knightley?

beauty is the promise of happiness. beauty always promises, but never gives anything...

kata Kahlil Gibran - beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart... but we live in a world where people are deluded by BEAUTY!

pergilah mana2 dalam dunia ni, mesti semua orang nak yang cantik, yang comel, yang cun... nak rumah besar yang cantik, nak kereta yang sleek and handsome, nak spouse yang cantik or handsome, kacak. nak anak2 yang comel2. dah fitrah manusia suka benda2 yang cantik dan elok.

but beauty is very subjective. the kelabits in sarawak thought that in order to be beautiful, the ladies need to put on heavy ear-rings, sampai cuping telinga jadi panjang... mereka kata cantik, kita rasa pelik...

the africans would put saucers dekat bibir mulut anak2 perempuan mereka. each year they would change the saucer to a bigger size, so that mulut anak perempuan tu jadi besar. pada mereka cantik... kita rasa jelik....

mula2 i tengok proton JUARA dulu, i kata siapalah yang approve design kereta tu... tak menarik langsung! tapi banyak juga i jumpa atas jalan... and ramai yang kata it is a very practical vehicle.

so beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. memang harus untuk kita mendapatkan yang elok pada pandangan mata kita. beauty comes as much form the mind as from the eye.

so yang mana cantik? camry atau accord atau peugeot 407 atau mazda6?

peugeot407

it is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness...

that which is striking and beautiful is not always good;

but that which is good is always beautiful!

i don't like standard beauty - there is no beauty without strangeness!
