The detrimental impact of aesthetic norms on emotional wellness
What are beauty standards and where do they stem from? Beauty standards are cultural beliefs that influence social power and dictate how individuals should look to be socially accepted. These standards encompass physical features like facial appearance, skin, and body shape, and can be either innate or alterable. Terms like "attractive," "pretty," and "good looking" are used to describe adherence to these standards. It can be challenging to determine which features can be changed and which cannot. Not conforming to societal beauty standards by refusing to alter one's appearance is often viewed as a moral failure.

Unveiling the Timeless Wisdom of Swami Vivekananda for Today's Youth
I love myself despite infinite faults. How can I hate someone only with a few faults? A vast collection of millions of galaxies make up the universe. That is made up of planets revolving around one another and producing a cacophony of vibrations that impacts who we are. God gave humans the ability to reason, observe, and acquire knowledge. However, he did not grant him the one ability that would have made him immortal. The ability to find salvation and contentment in one's possessions. He created a being in man that was never static.
