Man is attracted to beauty as iron it to the magnet. Beauty is magnetic. Since time immemorial man has been running in the pursuit of beauty. Beauty is a concept that is given undue advantage and can pave the way for many goals. Beauty is treated like that elusive gem, it is not granted to all by god. Only a selected few are gifted with and they use it to their full potential. We will always find ourselves running after external beauty and without having the slightest idea of what lie beneath. External beauty as they say is only skin deep and will fade away with age. What we will carry to our graves are the deeds we don and our inner beauty.

What the people of today need to be aware of it that the way to judge a person is not way he looks but by the way he behaves and his moral values. If people are asked to define beauty, most of them will come up with absurd answers. We really don’t know what beauty is. For most of us beauty is only what is pleasing to the eyes. Beauty casts its spell on everyone. In ancient time people were so spellbound by it that females were worshiped as goddesses for their beauty.

Hindus have been worshipping a goddess as a goddess of money and fertility since ages. When a new female in a family brings monetary gains she is termed as an incarnation of the goddess while when some bad luck hits the family along with the arrival of a newly born girl child or a daughter in-law they term it as bad omen and that the girl brought with her ad luck and that she is ill fated.

Diamonds have also been treated as a symbol of beauty, and most of the time diamonds and women are correlated and synonymous with each other. Women have had this misconception that diamonds enhance their beauty and all of them love t flaunt them unaware of the fact that it is not the diamonds men adore and pursue. It is the beauty in the eyes of them women and the mystic sense of attraction that pulls men towards women and not the diamonds they wear.

It is funny that the saying goes ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. Why talk of the eye. The reason is simple. Our eyes are the mirror to our soul. One of the most beautiful and most expressive aspects of our face is our eyes. They provide us with the sense of vision, but also add to any emotion that a person may be feeling at any time. Be it love, hate, anger, joy, sadness or any other emotion, the eyes always tell us the truth.

Our eyes are protected by a thin layer of skin which we call the eyelid. Though it is nature’s way of protecting them, care should be taken not to let any dust, particles, dirt or external matter into our eyes. This can damage our retina, which provides us with vision. A soft cloth or water can be used to clean our eyes regularly. Cleaning should be done gently. The use of an eyeliner or eye shadow will accentuate the features of our eyes, and greatly enhance their beauty as well, while making you look good.

Our eyes give us the power of vision, and should be well kept. They will provide good service to us in return, and allow us to appreciate beauty longer.
