Is It True That Pain is Beauty?

*Is it true that pain is beauty?* *Does a new face come with a warranty?* *Will a pretty face make it better?* Mrs. Potato Head- Melanie Martinez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkri1NUq9ro

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wM5dJf9LqkY/UUharwp6alI/AAAAAAAA_aQ/MeZVi3kdoqg/s1600/pain+is.png When you hear the word "Beauty", what is the first thing that pops up in your head? Women all throughout the world have their own interpretations of beauty and its actual meaning. Not every woman adores her body, and not every woman has the ideal physical look. In today's society, many women believe that having narrow hips, a large butt, clear skin and a seductive figure is the ultimate definition of beauty. It's been compared to the replication of a Barbie doll by others. In someone's eyes, everyone is attractive, but more women are concerned with their own personal vision of beauty. Many women want to look like the women they see on screen or in the media. People mistakenly believe that this is how everyone in today's culture views beauty's potential, however it is not. Women experience pressure, body dissatisfaction, and eating disorders as a result of the impossible-to-achieve standard of beauty. Art, the sky, the ocean, people, and even you. You're beautiful and everything has its beauty. But, is it true that pain is beauty? We are in a new generation where everything revolves around technology. We've seen people doing surgery on themselves, buying expensive products for the sake of beauty, and it's okay because we see them satisfied and happy with the outcome of what they've become. "*Let them do things they like as long as they're not hurting anyone.*" But the question is, are we sure that we're really not hurting anyone? The lipsticks, foundation, and all the make-up products that we bought and use for ourselves. How sure are we that those products aren't hurting any living creatures?

https://www.peta.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Draize-test-on-rabbit-w-shaved-back.jpg For us, pain is never permanent, but for animals, **it kills them**. Before we use the products and cosmetics that we apply to our faces, animals, especially rabbits, are the ones who will be sacrificed in exchange for our beauty. More than 100 million are bred, utilized, and discarded as hazardous trash each year as a result of research and product testing all across the world. Millions of animals are used, abused, and used without the use of any anesthesia. They put toxic and hazardous materials on them. They put them on their eyes and bodies, and they were also forced to inhale them. It's so sad to think that millions of animals are killed every day just for our pleasure and self satisfaction.

It's better to buy friendly cosmetic products and brands that do not test animals for their products. In that small way, we help lessen the numbers of those other animals that were sacrificed everyday. Is this really the definition of "***Pain is Beauty***"? Beauty for us, but pain for animals. *Animals traded their beauty just for us.*   This is my article entry for the **Writing Prompt #15 Beauty** If you wish to participate in this writing prompt, just follow these simple steps: Write anything about Beauty Write 100% original content Write at least 600 words Tag, @JonicaBradley Submit to PromptlyJonica here https://read.cash/c/promptlyjonica-b4a0 Click images for image sources Lead Image Source https://assets.change.org/photos/0/by/qp/XHbyQpDCPCAEkRX-800x450-noPad.jpg?1527512448 **Authors Note:** Heeeyaa!
