Plastic Surgery

I was watching Four Corners last night and I changed stations while it was still going.  It was interesting but I thought the priorities of those involved was all wrong.
It was about the plastic surgery business in China.  It is a multi-million dollar industry.  I do not question what may need to be done for health reasons.  Further reading will show what I am troubled by.
The plastic surgery industry has an element that targets everyone but particularly young girls.  There is an app in China that is in common use, that takes pictures of the face and then suggests changes to be made to make a person “more beautiful.”
What I found particularly distressing was there were employers telling employees work they should get done on their looks.   I have seen the failures and mistakes, but that is not all there is.  Some of the people were made to look real pretty.
What they were doing for me misses the point.  I am all for getting done up and making myself look the best I can.  I know ladies like to do that.  As I heard someone say in relation to make up “if the door needs painting, paint it.”
But for me what matters is what is on the inside.  I do not want to be someone who looks good but inside is full of rubbish.  When we dog sit, I deal with the doggy do’s.  I use two bags.  If a person saw just the bag they could mistakenly think it was full of good stuff.  Inside is a different story though.
I cannot help it, I do look at the appearances, but it very quickly becomes obvious if the appearance is just skin deep.  I have no desire to, but I cannot hide what I am inside.  Of course I would like to be a looker but more than that I want to be a looker on the inside.
What I saw concerns me.  It reminds me of the “Arian race.”  A certain look is acceptable and that which is not can be destroyed or ruled over.
What I saw was blatant and part of what is “trending.”  Yet to me it is not the domain of one race.  It is seen in all cultures that can afford it.  Trying to deal with a perceived outward inadequacy, while ignoring the inadequacy of the inside.
To me the key is perceived.  This does not mean I do not think I should lose weight if I should or live a healthy lifestyle.  That is right for all.  But I do reckon I have all that is required to do what I need to be doing.  I have no desire to fit into a mould that is not me.  Feeling a need to change my outward physical appearance, makes me question my priorities.  Perhaps changing what is inside me lends itself to accepting what is on the outside.
