What is beautiful then? We seem to seek more extravagant beauty routines as experiences more and more, which are part of the idea of beauty, it is a process and constantly new found ingredients, beauty and wellness services and tricks. It seems it is not a matter of personal taste that much but manipulation, influence, advertising, group think and hype, even cost is not an obstacle but personality, individuality and originality go easily scarce when searching for the plastic look. Taste and style which are much guided by industries that produce beauty standards move fast. It is strange to point out one industry and blame that one evil thing when we should look at the whole picture: fashion, cosmetics, movies and pop culture, entertainment and the celebrity boom, social media and meaning of one’s own contribution and image in it. The artificial cosmos around us and what do we want in it, the constant boom and search for immortality perhaps in the lights, which train does not stop but accelerates and speeds up like there was no end as there obviously is not, since we want to be liked in constant movement and the easiest way is via looks, poses, clothes and places to be.
What is this all for, to look stunning to impress, make the best kind of visual impact to attract, seduce, make followers, a reputation and fame, be remembered and looked at as beautiful on the outside, as someone who has great tits, fantastic body parts until one doesn’t anymore? We want to be remembered to have been someone who looked good up to standards and measurements ‘made’ by ‘experts’ of beauty and style or having had style and beauty of our own but not? To be expert on beauty is a person who knows what beauty is, how to be beautiful. Interesting is how personal taste and made up beauty standards meet or what is personal anymore, one’s own, how far people are willing to go in becoming iconic, to be admired and gazed at, desired as sexy, fuckable and sexy are the biggest lures. For those who have the means to do as many surgeries as any surgeon can and is allowed to do on one person…
Having plastic surgery is like candy. It is a culture of looking infantile without maturity, finding satisfaction which quite doesn’t show and having all fast. Somehow happiness is still far away from the perfected body, it is unreachable because there is not a fairy to grant happiness just like that. So it is not in the body parts. It cannot be bought. Instant gratification of looking the way you want is obviously good and you have the right to look the way you want, as long it is what you want. What do you want? To be fake is just plain easy and it is the target to be fake and like faking can be easy as lying, an act. To be as fake as you can and pretend it is the real you, pretend the perfect body and gained lifestyle is the ultimate happy place with similar friends around who share your views and lifestyle. The wrong is when fake becomes the only thing that is worth reaching out for. When a person is not good enough without those things that can be bought, attached to and a body which is molded to match a standard of looking like an ultra feminine female for example, just the way you feel you should. The wrong is when this is the best we can get to become, dream about and walk in. The worse is calling it reality. Calling it real..the real you. People clearly have an issue with reality.
What’s wrong with it? Probably everything. Shouldn’t we be concerned and think about the reasons why people feel bad about the way they look, about body parts that do not fill the requirements, requirements that are more and more imaginable and artificial, born via images and entertainment around us? Have us think the good and the desirable and make us want to be successful through surgery and publicity, via total modification of the seen, to be a creation. Many say why not, as long as you are happy. It is there to be reached out.
Sentences like: I wanted to be pretty and be admired for that, but now I hate myself after plastic surgery went wrong badly. I almost died. It was done by an incompetent doctor, of course. Not because you had ludicrous ideas how you should look like. Such can happen since plastic surgery is not without risks. People despair painfully for the good looks, it is, I suppose, biological, but people want to deny biology, don’t they? So badly it is sickening to look at and sad as hell. It truly is all what one is and when looks is gone you are done for. The most sickening part of this pain is someone thinking one is all wrong on the outside, in wrong body and what is outside of one is that needs repair, a correction. Being beyond repair is a failure as such, wanting to be liked and loved for what you look like, when you do not like the way you look and other people like to comment your looks to make sure you do feel there is something wrong with you and make sure you do not fit in and do not feel comfortable, are you sure it is you who is flawed? Seeking comfort in your body is like getting lost in a forest. Being comfortable in your body means one should aspire to take care of it, not mutilate and vandalize it and definitely not do what others tell you should look like. The definite and absolute end of life today is ugliness, old and worn out looks. People who want youthful feminine looks without trace of old age seek science fiction, being over forty is today too old even with surgery. Who takes interest in you when you do not fit the beauty standards, when you do not look fresh and young? Maybe we should ask, who cares. Oldies are a big varied group of people with skills and knowledge. Why reject them, us? Because of prejudice? Isn’t today for variety and acceptance, not brutality and bullying? I guess not. People still today wonder the meaning of life and old age being something desirable. Importantly, how do we stay fit and youthful for a hundred years or more. When sexy is the meaning of life..thinking what is ugly?
Maailman sosiaalitoimistona pieneltä maalta loppuvat rahat hyvin äkkiä. Meillä tuntuu olevan kovasti velvollisuuksia muita kuin itseämme kohtaan. Sitä on hyvin vaikea seurata sivusta, tai vaikea ja vaikea, mitä muutakaan sitä voi tehdä, kuin seurata sivusta ja jupista. Tänne tullaan vaatimaan ihmisoikeuksia, siis meiltä ja jos ei muuten irtoa, niin väkivalloin saatana. Voi toki olla helpotus, kun pääsee tänne rauhalliseen tylsään maahan, eikä tarvitse kärsiä sotaisasta uskosta ja uskonnollisesta vihasta ja mikä parasta, täällä voi opiskella ammatin ja saada töitä jopa naisena. Islamin kritisointia sanotaan islamofobiaksi eli se on uskonto, jota ei saa kritisoida, vaikka kritiikin aihetta riittää. Täytyy muistuttaa, ettei yksikään muslimimaa ole demokratia eikä islam ole vähemmistöuskonto maailman mittakaavassa. Olen itse jyrkästi Euroopan islamisointia vastaan. Sillä on tarve tuhota, ei luoda uutta ja olen hyvin huvittunut, kuinka massiivisen tuen länsimainen ihmisoikeustaistelija on antamaan islamille, mutta nykyään on niin paljon asioita, joita ei normijärjellä enää selitetä. Totuuden jälkeinen aikamme, alkoiko se sitten Trumpista todella? Uskonnon kritisointi ja rasismi ovat periaatteessa eri asioita, mutta nykyään samaa fobiaa ja rasismi pahinta, mitä länsimainen voi sortua tekemään. Trumpin oikea oivallus oli, että on keskityttävä oman maan asioiden hoitoon ja saatava oma maa kukoistamaan. Meillä on yhä suurempia vaikeuksia tässä nimenomaisessa asiassa. Ongelmat kun ovat toisaalla ja ne meidän on ratkaistava. Onko se vapauden ja oikeudenmukaisuuden levittämistä länsimaiseen tapaan? Ei ole kovin onnistunut projekti. Kehitysavullekin olisi hyvä saada vastinetta, onhan sitä tehty monta vuosikymmentä. Vastikkeellisuus on meille ihan normijuttu, mutta kehitysmailta ei vaadita kehitystä kovinkaan hanakasti, ilmeisesti mahdoton tehtävä. On kuitenkin keskityttävä pitämään köyhimmät ruuassa, puhtaassa vedessä ja katto pään päällä, mutta eihän se vielä riitä mihinkään. Onhan kaunista, kun vielä paikalliset voivat itse kuvata itsensä vähemmän tai kauniimmin kärsivinä, ettei täällä tarvitsisi katsoa kurjuuspornoa, voi kehitysavun lopettaa kokonaan (kiitos Yle). Kun valkoinen auttaja ja kuvaaja ovat liikaa, on edistytty jo niin paljon, että oma-aloitteisuutta löytyy oman kurjuutensa ja rahattomuutensa kuvaamiseen paremmassa valossa…hyvä niin. Valoa on siis näkyvissä ja kurjuus näyttää kuvassa edelleen tosi ikävältä, ehkä filtterin voisi vaihtaa tai pidempi objektiivi tuo uskottavuutta nimenomaan.

A spheroid, or ellipsoid of revolution, is a quadric surface obtained by rotating an ellipse about one of its principal axes; in other words, an ellipsoid with two equal semi-diameters. A spheroid has circular symmetry.
If the ellipse is rotated about its major axis, the result is a prolate (elongated) spheroid, shaped like an American football or rugby ball. If the ellipse is rotated about its minor axis, the result is an oblate (flattened) spheroid, shaped like a lentil. If the generating ellipse is a circle, the result is a sphere. from wikipedia
