If cosmetic surgery was available as standard on your current health care plan

There are always things I dislike about myself, but I can't think of anything I'd actually want surgery for. That feels extreme to me.

Beauty is in imperfection. Once you contrive it, all hope is lost. Hence society.

Yeah, I agree that "imperfect beauty" is most appealing - but when it comes down to it, there's definitely a limit to how many/what kinds of imperfections most people interpret as beautiful....

There's a difference between being aware and being concerned. For clarification purposes, the main definition of the word "concerned" is anxious and/or worried. And I stand by what I said. I am by no means anxious or worried about my appearance, merely aware.

No. It's all or nothing: you either care or you don't. Wearing makeup and undergoing cosmetic surgery are both indicative of some amount of concern for your personal appearance, albeit maybe to different degrees.

Haha, yeah - it sounds all deep and pure... until you admit that in practice you probably don't actually find imperfections quite as attractive as you said you did in theory.

So should we hide or imprefection or let life be?

That's for each person to decide.

This is what bugs me about the judgemental responses: I don't get why people can't just live and let live without passing judgement when you're not being affected/harmed/etc.

That's not true at all.

It isn't?

No I think you have a point, I am just tired of people who are overly concerned about who they are by basing judgment into how they look outwardly, buttom line.

Everyone falls, everyone wont smell as good as they wake up, we all have to take a shit, so how do we hide that stuff?

If it's all or nothing, how can there be different degrees

Calen, somewhere in the process of putting makeup on or viewing yourself without makeup, you have had to come to a conclusion that you didn't find yourself attractive enough without makeup...how is that not considered being concerned? Okay...maybe concerned is not quite the right word, but you know what i mean.
