On Beauty Pageants
Many people will hate me for this. Well, I’ll take the risk. Beauty queens nowadays have descended to the level of trivia. Year after year people look forward to who’s going to win the beauty title? To the crown noble assignments are attached so as not to regard the beauty search “shallow” or “irrelevant.”
The surface beauty (face, shape, proportion, gait, etc.) are highlights. The obligatory interview is a pretentious gauge of a woman’s substance. The “pageantish” manner of speech is almost always studied and forced. In pageants the candidate’s need to impress and to show off somehow reveals the pride of peacocks.
True beauty is quiet and humble. It does not seek approval nor judges’ scores. The truly beautiful women do noble tasks for other people even without a scepter or crown. I believe even in the absence of beauty contests the world will still be a beautiful place to live in.

i agree with you, sir Billy.=)
ReplyDeletewaaaahhhh! I just did a devotional note on this one, Billy. And that note particularly struck me: the true beauty of a woman is in her quiet spirit! A hard blow (and a good lesson) for me too. ^_^

ReplyDeleteVery well said, Billy :) As in Proverbs 31:10-31 said it all there as a true beauty of a woman. Man look at the outside appearance but God looks at the inside of our heart
