Towards a Beautiful world

We’ve all seen memes like the ones given above. They show the picture of a supposedly "unattractive” person by world standards 😡 and ask the netizens to tag their friend who would make a good partner for the person. Many of us are guilty of tagging our friends on those.

Do we realise how horrifying this whole concept is??!😨

Firstly, we publicly body shame and ridicule a complete stranger for no fault of theirs. Secondly we teach our children that it’s not okay to look a certain way. 

We are the generation of hypocrites who talk actively about magazines body shaming women & men. We speak about how airbrushed actors in the movies feed our own insecurities. We debate on why there should be diversity in representation of people in advertisements.

Finally, we in “good natured humour”, disgrace a human whose looks are something they have no control over. We don’t know who they are or what they’re like. We don’t know they’re going through or how they’re facing their demons. We don't know if they have seen the memes that make fun of them. We don't know what impact it has had on their lives.

If you’ve been creating such memes, if you've been tagging your friends on those, Please stop. The person on the meme is probably a better person than you are and deserves a better life partner than you.

Just know that you are showcasing your own insecurities online for everyone to see. People tend to comment on someone else’s look only when they’re not comfortable in their own skin. In addition to that, you show people your ugly inner self. 

Let’s all heal together. Every single one of us. Let’s together make the world a beautiful place where real beauty is treasured. <3
