Perception- I Am Beautiful


Beauty is immeasurable.

For it is a perception,

And there is nothing that humans do not perceive.

How we percieve the world is a reflection of ourselves--

of our innermost weaknesses.

If, when you first see a man,

you notice his flaws;

you are pessimistic and judge life with deception--

based on all its struggles and unfortunate happenings.

However, if when you see a man,

you notice his admirable qualites;

you are optimistic and judge life with honesty--

based on its successes and most joyful experiences.

What humans perceive first is always just on the surface.

Those who perceive deceptively,

tend to aquaint themselves to others with similar perceptions.

This leads to their failure in human relations,

and in achieving a higher socio-economic status.

Yet those who perceive wih honesty

tend to form never-ending partnerships with all those who surround them.

This comes from an understanding that life is NOT guaranteed,

under ANY circumstances.

How do you perceive the world?

Beauty is immeasurable.

For it is a perception.
