Beauty has never been more essential at this time

WITH everything ugly going on, it’s time for some deep dose of beauty.

This year 2020 needs a makeover. There is a lot of ugliness happening around the world — the Coronavirus ( Covid) pandemic killing hundreds of thousands of people, local businesses and establishments going bankrupt, people losing their jobs, angry people lashing out in social media, people attacking other people, insensitive people, and we can only look flabbergastedly at the riots, looting and violence happening in the US right now after the death of George Floyd. Chaos is everywhere and people are losing it. What is the thing that will save us from this all? Beauty.

No it is not shallow to talk about beauty at this time. People have been feeling depressed, anxious and on the brink of crazy from everything that’s been happening, and from being quarantined in their homes for almost three months. People are filling up with hate, depression and low selfesteem now more than ever. Beauty is self-love. It is a manifestation of love, and it is our connection to God. We move away from hostility and destruction, and go back to appreciating all his creations, our bodies, our faces, and nature, because everything he created is made out of love. So it’s our job to maintain and to make more beauty — not to destroy, or to loot. Beauty is important because it enriches our souls and makes us focus on the good things. It’s essential not just in art, fashion, but also in its most basic form of all — our physical appearance (and inner beauty, but that’s for later.)
