Diamonds

Cat was reading a post from Marisa Demori. There are some points that Cat does agree with and there are others, of course, which Cat disagree. However, the main idea is interesting. Here's an abstract of her posting:

In today's world, beauty is a precious thing and beauty wants to be seen.
The public usually looks unkindly when they see a person who is physically beautiful wears something that shows off her assets. Of course, it takes time to find a look or an outfit that fits her. So she needs to experiment until she finds one that mosts suits her and that will give her the most beautiful look.

Even Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the famous American ex-President, who had a great mind but little beauty, when asked what was the thing about herself that she would have treasured in life, answered: 'To have been born beautiful..'

A woman should make herself beautiful for her man. And when a woman looks into the eyes of the man that she loves, she will learn to know what suits her best because his eyes would tell her when she is beautiful to him. (To be told that you are beautiful and admired..words from him..would be a great compliment. Who would not want to always be adoringly beautiful in the eyes of a beloved?)
The sad part is that too many men forgot or are stingy to tell their partners that they are beautiful even when the women have taken special efforts to dress up for an occasion. On the other hand, some women lose their men because they forget to make themselves beautiful (physically, graciously and verbally.)

If you observe carefully, you can see that diamonds, pearls and gold are not beautiful when they were dug out from the ground. They become beautiful under the expert hands of the artisan-cutter.

It is not the fact that these metals are hard to find that makes them precious and valuable.. but rather the indescribable sparkle that they achieved after they were cut and polished...which, of course makes them endearing to the heart of men.

Clothes help to give confidence to a woman. A woman sparkles beautifully when she feels loved and cherished by the man who has finally managed to capture her heart. 

Food for thoughts..
