.::.Beauty(and other things).::.

Society's view of beauty has drastically changed over the years. Now, beauty lies in money and expense. Back in the early 1900's, women were beauty, in all shapes and sizes. Of course, it's right to assume that as the world changes, so do our values, but I guess it's a gradual, hidden change.
Our society today is pathetic when conversing about values. Respect is miniscule- even non-existant. Majority of teenagers are materialistic(to the extreme), only caring for their phones, iPods, and other belongings. In the eye of the public, there is no privacy; everything is plastered upon pages of magazines for all to see. Women are objects in the eyes of some people, and the men use them when they please. Songs, if you're willing to stretch that title, are only about alcohol, sex, and women. Rap has become the top genre, while it's also the top in disrespect. In a way, beauty has died.
On the other side of society, the "outcasts", there is beauty. In my view at least. Music is meaningful, singing about actual problems and topics. Majority of teenagers are not materialistic here, they value what they have- both objects and people. They have more respect than those who "fit in."
I seem to be painting a twisted picture here. If you will, a war between two sides- those who fit in, and those who don't.
No one seems to understand the true meaning of beauty anymore.
"the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest)."
Seems that beauty is everything, in one way or another. If you truly wanted, I suppose one could find beauty in all of existence.

I admire your capability of thinking so deeply. You certainly have a mind that thinks outside of the box. This really made me THINK.
