About beauty

While packing, saw some old print-outs of emails.. here's one about beauty.

A quote from Anita Roddick, the founder of the "Body Shop", a naturalist, a person who loves nature:

The word "beauty" is old-fashioned. Somehow, something that everybody possesses has become an unattainable goal, an ideal beyond most of us. But isn't beauty a combination of humour, passion, activism, imagination, energy, vitality and curiosity? It certainly has little to do with the arrangement of your physical features. Seeing beauty as personal, individual and holistic, allowing everyone to appreciate themselves for who they really are, we begin to feel better about ourselves. And feeling good is looking good.

About love

Read about this sometime back, can't remember from where..

Love is a lot of emotional closeness, intimacy and a lot of trust and comfort.

True love is more than just feelings of excitement. Feelings of excitement will definitely be there, but you will also feel at peace around him and want to protect him.

True love takes a long time, even years, to grow and strengthen. What most feel, and it is definitely a BEGINNING for love, is a strong attraction, or lust or a crush. Sometimes it's a REALLY strong attraction, and it can be confusing.

Capital L, reaL, Live, soul-mate romantic Love.

Love is patient and kind. Love isn't jealous and doesn't brag. It isn't rude or crude. Love is honest and trusting; it seeks the truth and looks out for the best interest of others. Love doesn't hold grudges, but gives second chances. Love is hopeful and long lasting and totally, incredibly awesome.
