My Bias on Plastic Surgery

[WARNING] I might be ranting a bit.. haha..;; 

It's quite disturbing nowadays when I browse about my favorite Korean artists and discover the issue of obsession on this artificial beauty, plastic surgery. The topic has been widely discussed over the web and (likely) over other news articles. Although I am biased about the procedure.. however, I don't oppose it if it provides the individual some kind of health improvement. Whether it be their own psychological health or physical health.. it IS their body after all. For example if fixing your jaw for your teeth to be aligned straight so that you could sing at your best or fixing your nose to help improve nasal breathing problems at night or something. (shrugs)

But then again.. changes just to look "beautiful as so-and-so.." it is a bit sad that one has to turn to surgery to rid their faults; faults that make an individual unique and beautiful in their own way. Of course it's much easier said than done. But comparing oneself to another different individual is not the definition of what is beautiful. You are your own person as well as whom you idolize.

"We are only human..."

I've heard this phrase a countless number of times, whether it was expressed as a reason, it does not justify anything. It's an excuse. Yes, we are human. We are allowed to make mistakes, but we have the responsibility as the advanced and intelligent species to learn from these mistakes. We have morals to distinguish what is right and wrong.

If a man decides to burglarize, rape or murder innocent people, can he be justified by saying, "I am only human"? What about a woman who throws away her dignity and morale to be a tool for sexual pleasure, can she be justified by, "I am only human"? No, it justifies nothing. Being 'human' does not give one the reason to exploit themselves against morals and laws. It is the same with those who are materialistic and shallow.
