I throughly enjoyed reading your post and personally identified with your closing statement. In Charles Darwin's words, "If everyone were cast in the same mold, there would be no such thing as beauty." If we look to other cultures in the world, we find that they have clearly different standards/ ideals for beauty and we can also see how greatly we are influenced by our own. I do wish that our society wasn't so conditioned to the point where beauty is defined as having certain physical attributes or fitting into a particular mold deemed by our culture.
