dying to be thin II

But all this begs the question:
why? Why are women so obsessed with physical beauty?
Why would women go to such extremes to be beautiful as culturally defined?
Why aren't we pleased with "normal"?
The answer is simple and sobering: our hearts are full of evil desires and sinful lusts. And to differing degrees our heart have believed the lie that physical beauty will bring satisfaction and recognition. You know the false promises: If you're beautiful, you will be happy and successful. You will be popular among women, you will be desirable to men. You will know lasting intimacy and true love. You will be confident and secure. You will be important and significant.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to
her heart, the place where love resides.
True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.

by Audrey Hepburn
