Everybody adores beauty. Isn’t it?

Every kind of beauty is adored regardless of whether it is nature’s beauty(sea,land,wind,trees,waterfall,mountains,sky,universe) , beauty of a place ,person,picture, etc.

But does anybody adore scar?

Skin is the body’s largest Organ. It is a seamless organ. Imagine a piece of silk cloth, just one small tear can make a big difference in how it looks. And it’s the same with skin. Any burn, injury, or other trauma, such as surgery, can cause scars.

What is a Scar?

When a wound heals, it may eventually turn into a Scar.

Why people having scars worry so much?

People having scars are so much worried because of its appearance.

Now if it’s small or in a location that’s easy to conceal then we can conceal it. But when it’s not, you may wonder if there’s a way to treat it, other than hiding it under your clothes, that will make it go away or at least change how it looks.

But the truth is that the scar will never completely go away. But since now science has developed a lot there are some methods that can help you reduce its size and change its appearance.

In this article I am going to talk about two types of beauty and two types of scars.

Beauty

One is the exterior beauty of a person i.e, appearance of a person and the other is interior beauty of person .

Difference between Exterior and Inner beauty :-

  1. Inner beauty refers to the personality of a person including his/her mind and character. Whereas exterior beauty simply refers to the looks of a person. It can easily be faked and changed through makeup, dressing, surgery etc. But it takes a whole lot of effort and a true heart to maintain your inner beauty in this modern age.
  2. Outer Beauty makes a person insecure and uncertain but inner beauty makes a person strong and makes him feel invincible. Beauty is about simplicity, elegance and grace. We need to be comfortable in our own skin.

We should never judge anybody based on their exterior beauty. Our exterior beauty is transient, it fades with time but our soul, knowledge,kindness and heart is something that will stay with us.

Scars:

Scars are of different types but here I am going to talk about two types of scars. The two types of scars are physical scars and emotional scars.

When a wound/injury heals on our skin it may leave behind a Physical scar. I call it physical because that scar can be seen ,whereas emotional scar is a scar which is caused by death of a loved one or separation from a loved one or any emotional event which causes emotional imbalance in a person’s life .

In today’s scenario our biggest myth is that if we are not good looking or don’t wear fashionable clothes then we are considered to be not beautiful or a good personality, but in my opinion it is our skill ,talent, thoughts, behaviour,kindness and the way we treat ourselves and others is our actual beauty.

Things/situation people having scars face-

  1. Facial Scar(scar on face) can be caused due acne ,pimples,cut etc on face. Sometimes many scars get healed on proper consultation with dermatologist but there are scars which can never be healed. Example- some people have big scars on face since birth. People judge and make fun of people with facial scars. They consider them ”ugly”.
  2. People having scars are always worried of hiding them.Before going out in public they have to be careful to conceal it or hide it in any possible way. If they do not do that people will again start commenting on them.
  3. If a person is a victim of acid attack they themselves consider themselves unworthy of being loved, people around them hardly love and accept them with their scars. In such a situation many victims decide to end their life by commiting suicide.
  4. Some people become numb/dull after lost of their loved one. Their thoughts are always occupied by such thoughts .If you find your friend in such a situation or any body , don’t make fun of them without knowing their emotional conditions.

Their are many more such examples.

But thank god that now-a-days acid attacks victims are being given the opportunity to participate in various beauty contest both in country as well as in other countries.

Message for people with scars -

“Stop hiding scars and start accepting them in public.”

Message for people who make fun of people with scars-

“Stop shaming people for having scars and start appreciating “the Beauty of scars!””

Thank you for reading.
