Society doesn't want you to feel good about yourself. Society wants you to feel crappy all the time so that you'll spend all of your money on their beauty products and treatments for the rest of your life. These products are advertised like they'll make you finally-FINALLY-feel good about yourself, yet when you examine the ads themselves, their very nature is designed to make the viewer feel inadequate. I'm not saying it's wrong to wear makeup and enjoy physical beauty, I'm saying that our obsession with physical beauty over all else, in addition to this pervading thought that only one person or type can be beautiful and all others are inadequate is tearing us as a nation and as the human race apart.
If you're distracted by feeling terrible about yourself and obsessively feeding your money into this cycle, you aren't realizing that society has made you a prisoner to its own idea of perfection. You are complacent, you are padding the pockets of the puppetmasters, and you are not a threat to this system. Some people are so brainwashed that they impose this ideal, not only upon themselves, but upon their peers, often in the form of mockery and judgement.
So, you rebel you, with all of your high notions about how the world should be, how government should work, and how people should act, how about you start changing things with yourself? Focus inward, stop spending so much energy on your outward beauty, and stop comparing yourself to what the media says you have to compare yourself to.
You have beauty already. Focus on it and love it.
