I know this seems to be the usual subject for me, besides guys and the general problems of life. Compassion for girls...
I watched a documentary on The Most Enhanced Women presented by Mark Dolan a little graphic but it's worth a watch,within the first 5 minutes I immediately judged these women in getting breast enhancements just for men, just for a way to earn money, but as the documentary continued it came more and more apparent that these women were trapped. Trapped in a life where they weren't happy with themselves and the way they look.
The last woman that was showed on the documentary was the saddest of all...her up-bringing was one of pain and having grown up with 11 other kids and a sick mum she clearly was overlooked and didn't receive the attentions she needed/wanted. She tried to kill herself and although was later saved by an inspirational person her life was dedicated to perfection, she was seeking perfection and wanted to feel good in herself-yet that is impossible and I can't help thinking that she would only find out that realism when it was too late and she's knocking on death's door.
The more upset she got the more my heart tugged at the thought that this beautiful woman was throwing her life and money away on the impossible quest of perfection..I just wish that these women saw the fact that they are beautiful naturally.
Although my self-esteem is low and that I wish I could alter some parts of me every now and again, watching the documentary made me just want to change women! Change women's thoughts, I get angry at how women are degrading themselves in the search for perfection, there is no such thing!! This world is tainted and there is no concept as perfection, perfection is unrealistic.
What can be done to help these women??
Is there any way?? For me, I think I need to learn to embrace the way God made me and live with it, to not think about how I can aim for perfection but to aim for what I'm meant to aim for...realism. I want to be counter cultural and do something that changes the minds of women. I'm starting to get the feeling that God may be putting this on my heart!!
