We have different perspectives regarding beauty and I have seen lots of beautiful articles written by different users of the platform regarding the daily prompt by @JonicaBradley and I was inspired to come up with something manageable for users that might find interest in it.

It is my first time participating in a daily prompt here on read cash and I hope it goes well. You can be part of the challenge but be sure to follow the rule of the prompt by reading the rules at the end of the post.

What is beauty?

Due to our differences, we all have our definition of beauty and I respect what everyone thinks of beauty. Luxury, wealth, skin color, waist & curves, knowledge, and others are what we define as beauty but for some people, it means more.

Beauty for me is far beyond what the ordinary eyes can see and I believe that we all have one beauty or the other but not everyone allows it to grow in them. Beauty has to do with the qualities I possess and how I have used it for myself and how I have influenced the lives around me with it positively.

In my short time in life, I have observed that people focus more on others' beauty than what they possess and in the end, they feel like they are nothing compared to others not knowing that the beauty they possess is bigger than what they are seeing with others.

This thought inspires greed, selfishness, it makes them begin to run in search of what they already have, and in the cause of searching for beauty, they lost what they truly have.

The desire or obsession for beauty can be very intoxicating just like the desire for power, I have seen people lose their heads in search of beauty they already possess. You must be asking how the desire for beauty can be intoxicating, yes can if what you desire is a false beauty. This leads to the point where we have to understand that there is a difference between true beauty and a false one.

Real beauty

It is the kind of beauty that adds value to us, it is not necessarily an attitude or a special gift/talent, it can also be a common thing. It can be obtaining a degree, getting promoted, achieving greater things in life that also serves as an inspiration for others.

This beauty brings you closer to humanity because it many times doesn't usually come with selfish interest.

Real beauty brings happiness, contentment, it doesn't put you at risk of losing what's unique about you.

Fake beauty.

These are beauties we possess just to oppress or seek public attention, they do not add value to us but instead, it takes away from us.

They are temporary beauties that don't live as long as we live, they disappear in a matter of time, unlike real beauties that live even after we are long gone away from the face of the earth.

The consequences of being obsessed with fake beauty can be very terrible, it ends up inflicting so much pain on its beholder.


It is so unfortunate how we have chosen what's wrong and neglecting the truth about the real beauty of life.

Life on its own is beautiful but our actions most times bring complications making life difficult.

Let deviate a bit...

The truth we have neglected has made us make wrong life decisions. I stumbled on a story recently that would express my thoughts perfectly.


An ambitious young lady traded true beauty for a fake one because she turned a blind eye towards the truth in life.

She is a fresh graduate who has been in a relationship with a fellow student in the same school she graduated from, they started dating in the second year of study. The guy is a mechanical engineering student, he is from an average family and he works permanently on a night shift with a food producing company not far from his campus. Life wasn't easy for him but he is naturally intelligent and this made him get help from fellow students.

His path crossed with the girl when she had a math assignment she couldn't solve, some told her the guy could be of help and he was truly helpful. They became study mates and their relationship got tighter but the lady wasn't really happy because she wished the guy could give her the beautiful life her friends were getting in their relationships.

The guy couldn't give her everything but always try to make her happy. After graduation, she felt her beauty was too much for the guy, after all, they are through with schools and they might not even give each other attention anymore. It wasn't the same for the guy who had bigger plans for the lady, little did she know that he was looking beyond her big boobs and curves or the color of her skin.

She stumbled on this rich dude who spoilt her with everything she wanted while the school lover was running around to make their future great. The lady thought she had seen the real beauty of life because she lives in a duplex, rides in a good car, and wears good clothes.

At a point her new lover wanted her to increase her boobs and butt artificially which she did since it is what is in vogue among her friends. She felt like she was at the peak of the world with her lifestyle, yes she was until her new lover was jailed for internet fraud.

Her world crumbled because she was arrested as well but released at one point. Her problems started with the maintenance of her artificial body that must be checked every six months. She had nothing because the government seized everything they had, this made her jump into high class prostitution but she couldn't meet up with her maintenance and she started having health complications.

Before she could get the help that later came from her ex-lover, she already lost her butt. He did render every help from abroad since he got a job after he completed his scholarship program for his master's degree.


She is not the first and won't be the last person who has made wrong choices with what we regard as beauty in life.

Today we are obsessed with temporary beauty even though not everyone knows that it wouldn't end well and in some cases, people still press on despite knowing that the beauty they are pressing for would eventually end in tears.

The good thing about life is that we have the choice of choosing what we think is best for us.

To be part of the prompt, follow the rules below. Thanks for reading.

I agree with you that we have different opinion about beauty. Sometimes it would be best to consider the inner beauty and the soul of the person.

We have different kinds if beauty, and it depends on how we carry them, no need for surgeries and enhancement just to showcase thereal beauty

I can't begin to imagine why most people feel the need to enhance their beauty especially with boobs enlargement and butt. I might not understand their view but it's never something I would encourage anyone to. It's risky and definitely unneeded.

Beauty runs skin deep. It's about value, about relevance, about character. Most people focus on the outside while ignoring the inside.

They believe that beauty has to do with the big butt and others. If that's the definition of beauty, the slay Queens should all be married.

It has to do more with values.

True beauty my friend is really not just physical appearance. It is within us in our hearts but many people are neglecting it they are just too focus on material things in this world. I do hope they realize it soon before it is too late.

They believe more in material things than what they possess inside of them. I hope people learn from others instead of becoming a victim as well.

Though sad, i can say the lady got what she deserves. It's common practices for ladies to look for ways to enhance their beauty in different ways not minding the money it takes to maintain it.

Beauty for me is being happy about who you are and what you are. I always believed that I am fearfully and wonderfully made by an amazing God. I couldn't ask for more, I'm so in love with myself 💗

I wonder why people prefer artificial beauty, nowadays hundreds kinds of surgeries are available and most of the girls go for them to get their fake appearance and in sometimes they lost their real beauty. We are unique as we are,the ones who truly love us will accept us as we are,So we should not change ourselves for others.I am agree with your definition of real beauty. The decision of girl was wrong,the price of which she paid later.

She paid too much than she did get, I believe that contentment is one of the things that can make one appreciate self beauty and lack of it makes people seek more that destroys them.

As a woman, I find the story you shared with us so disheartening at the same time full of lessons. Indeed, there are still many people who find beauty in a shallow manner and sometimes I am one of them since it is inevitable to not feel so insecure. So, I always remind myself that physical beauty will fade in time whether fake or real. And the eternal beauty we need lies within our hearts.

There are times we feel very insecure and want to do things more comfortable, it is not bad but the lady was very unlucky.

Self appreciation is one thing I encourage people, it makes us appreciate the beauty of anything that has to do with us regardless of how good or bad the people think of it.

For me, real beauty cannot be seen in the physical appearance of a person. It lies within in every individual.

It's not really good to undergo surgery if you don't have money for the maintenance, lol.. Better accept what you have and love your flaws..

To the story, she was really okay in terms of body shape but because her lover wanted more, she grabs the offer of enhancing her ass and boobs. If only she saw the beauty in her ex, she wouldn't have fallen victim.

Nice article that every young lady should read, indeed many are searching for beauty they already have at all costs and they end up looking the in build beauty in them

You can imagine what greediness can cause, I'm sure the girl in question might have learned her lesson.

God has already made you in the way you should be, I don't why some people still went ahead for artificial part in our body, this is common in women, and they do this just to gain attraction from men. The truth remains that , someone who will love you will love you, in regardless of the body shape or color.

I find this post so interesting.

That is what many don't understand, we all have someone who will love us for who we are but they don't want that someone to be an average person so they step up to get the attention of the bigger men which mostly end up in tears.

They go for another choice because of their own selfish attitude, they want to become the talk of the Town and the end up landing themselves into trouble.

I love the angle you have taken in describing beauty. To be frank, what you said is what has been happening and it is obvious that we are not learning from the mistakes of others when it comes to what true beauty is.

A lot of people are just obsessed with what they look like and what people think about their look which is why they end up losing both the physical and inner beauty.
