Beauty in Gray I am lost because there is an injustice filling my body; I am aware that I cannot escape this feeling inside of me. What is inside of me is not the problem, however, the outside is. It’s not perfect, it never will be, no matter who I am, what I accomplish, what I become. Perfection is my everything, why should I be anything at all if not perfect? We come into a new age of people, a new age of tolerance, albeit I still feel secluded individually. Though these times are changing, the modern society maintains the past’s obsession with beauty, as the characters in Dorian Gray illustrate.
This giant complication with us will never fade. It will continue with others, past, future, present, me. I’m not the only one, millions feel …show more content…
What drives them is the moral encompassing of imperfections given on every inch of their bodies; the every flaw in their dynamics, every asset in their mien. Beauty is an advantage, causing people to gravitate towards scintillating perfection. The “Halo Effect” is a psychological cognitive bias which associates attractiveness to better treatment in behavior. First impressions are everything when it comes to the Halo Effect, bystanders base their first response towards an individual primely upon their looks.

We should not award individual, or punish them based on their natural physical appearance, but rather their natural intangible beauty. Mistakes are made in the medical due to the physical appearance of patients daily. Patients that are physically more attractive tend to be less of an urgency when waiting for service, due to the stereotype that disease and illness are ugly, ultimately making it so those less attractive can go first (Robson par.11). Beautiful people are also rewarded for an aspect of their lives they cannot control. The eyes of others see our beautiful qualities as clear as crystal while our eyes are faded -- for better or worse -- stunting growth as individuals as ourselves do not know how to learn from their charity. It not only becomes hazardous when trying to learn, but it rasterizes us as individuals, making us live with someone we have never met before. The advantage of beauty has been taken to an extreme and needs to be sentenced to a halt. Lord Henry Wotton would argue differently, exclaiming “Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated” (Wilde ___). Wotton’s perspective on the view of beauty is
