Hate me? I love it. I EAT HATE FOR DESSERT. It's gluten-free and full of the unhappiness of my haters, which is just delicious.
I ABSOLUTELY STAND BY WHAT I WROTE AND WILL NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR IT. #oops Really, are we arguing whether there is such a thing as ugly in this world? If it doesn't exist, there wouldn't have been a word for it.
So yes some people find inner peace with their ugliness, which they, I'm sure, somehow managed to convince themselves looks fine/doesn't matter. That's fantastic, I'm totally happy for them. In fact, I think there should be more such people in the world. However, these people have no rights to judge others who decided to upgrade. Just as a poor man, content with his life, has no right to ask someone striving to be rich to not do it and simply be at peace with poverty. A student who is bottom in class and ok with it has no rights to judge other students who wish to be top and is studying hard for it.
As for my cleft lip comment. That was referring to the statement "Be happy with what you are born with/God gave you". You cannot stand by that ridiculous blanket statement and only apply it to aesthetics and not to medical disorders (i.e.: so I shouldn't try to fix cancer?) For patients w cleft lip, a barrage of different doctors have to work together. Oral surgeon, ENT doctor... And plastic surgeon. The latter only fixes aesthetics - NOT the medical conditions. Is he not allowed to do his job because the patient should just accept his looks (assuming all health issues are corrected)?
Burn victims, people with very crooked teeth, people with cleft palettes... These people are generally "allowed" to surgically change their appearance without being judged. Why? Because you ASSUME their psyche will be affected? Then who are you to assume someone with a big nose isn't very affected by it? You assume it's frivolous and shallow because you think, I can accept my big nose, why can't she? Because 1) you aren't her you have no idea how she deals with her life and 2) because she doesn't wants to so NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
By all means take apart this chunk of text and take offence. I love the discussion. By discussion I mean blocking. Tata!
