Equivocal: Deciphering Beauty's Definition

3 35

Explaining the authentic meaning of beauty is like watching a debate because its interpretation is equivocal. 

To make it more creative and understandable for others users who also came from Philippines, I alternately written this one in Filipino and English language. Mabuhay!

In this present society we live in today, it is indisputable that many individual's judgment of beauty is straightened with one's physical appearance. Though the meaning of beauty is equivocal, each of us is still excellent and has rare characteristics. We are all endowed with elegance by God.

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.” - Helen Keller

Sa pagsasalita tungkol dito, ang kagandahan ay maaaring ilarawan bilang isang aspeto. Isang aspeto patungkol sa panlabas na hitsura at isang aspeto tungkol sa panloob na katangian ng isang indibidwal o isang bagay.

Kaya, tuwing lalabas ka, ngumiti lamang at lumakad nang may kumpiyansa sa sarili. Hayaan mo lang ang mga nagmamaliit at huwag ng pag-aksayahan ng oras. Gayundin, huwag pansinin ang mga pesimistikong parirala na iyong naririnig mula sa kanila dahil kung sino pa ang nagsasabi ng mga ganoong bagay ay para bang dinedescribe lang nila ang kanilang sarili.

Kung ipapakita mong hindi ka talaga apektado sa mga sinasabi nila, sila na mismo ang titigil dahil wala naman silang mapapala.

Remember that each bully's target is someone who is weak, and someone who can't stand for himself or herself.

In this present society we live in, somebody adheres typically to the perception that beauty includes a person's physical appearance. This is the sad reality. The reality that has been wrongly lived. That notion became others' plea in making fun of others and bringing them down.

For some, they undergo an operation. People still have a choice, so we have to respect that and do not make more debates about that. We just need to have happiness and respect for each other's decisions. You do not need to brag at anyone just to make you feel superior. Be an inspiration instead - a role model that can influence a significant impact on anyone's life.

Gayunpaman, sa sandaling maniwala ka sa lahat ng bagay sa iyo, at magkaroon ng diwa ng kumpiyansa sa loob mo, iyon ang puntong malalaman mo na handa ka nang tanggalin ang pag-aalala sa iyong isipan.

Alamin na ang lahat ay patas lamang sa mata ng Diyos. Ang kasiyahan ay ang susi na magbubukas sa puso ng bawat isa upang ganap na tanggapin na ang kagandahan ay hindi lamang nakasalalay sa nakikita natin sa panlabas na anyo ng sinuman, ang kagandahang panloob ay isa ring mahalagang bagay na dapat isasaalang-alang at tanggapin bilang katotohanan na siyang matagal na dapat nating ipinapalaganap at pina-prioritize.

Isipin mo na lang ang katagang lagi nilang sinasabi, "Ano ang kagandahan kung ang ugali mo'y hindi kagandahan?"

At isa pa, huwag mong ikukumapara ang iyong sarili sa iba dahil bawat isa sa atin ay naiiba at may natatanging katangian na hindi matatagpuan sa kahit sino pa man. Bawat isa sa atin ay nagtataglay ng sariling interpretasyon ng kagandahan. Kaya't isapuso mo ang totoong ikaw sa iyong natatanging paraan, at nang hindi na kailangang ikumpara pa ang pisikal na anyo sa iba.

Like what I have said in my previous article, no matter how successful, no endurance will be truly rewarding or happy if you cannot learn to love yourself and be yourself. So, be who you are and show to the world, the universe rather, what you can.

Each one of us can be beautiful and handsome in our own ways. Be proud!


Happy Sunday, everyone! Have a great day!
