Happiness is just a consult, loan, and a cut away!

According the the article from Creating Beauty to Cure the Soul, entitled A Beautiful Body Is a Happy Mind, it is posed to the reader that in western (or "modern") thought, happiness is not linked solely to our psychological well-being, but it is linked also to the way we view ourselves physically.

Yes this is true in the sense that most people in modern society, including myself on some occasions, seem to get down in the mouth about their physical appearance. In my view, however, there is a circular link between our physical appearance and our psychological well-being. Let's take for example, myself. I am overweight, out of shape and don't necessarily like the way I look. This fact resonates in my mind which gets me down in the dumps. Which then causes me to overeat, which causes me to gain more weight, and on and on and on. According to this article, many in my position would go out and get a loan to go and get liposuction and a tummy-tuck or something asinine like that instead of putting in less money but more work to go and work out at a gym or something of the like, but I digress.

I found it interesting that in most cases, at least it seems to me, that people tend to get aesthetic surgery on things such as their breasts or their sexual organs. If we get right down to it, the majority people that can get aesthetic surgeries done are trying to make themselves more sexually appealing; there's no getting around this fact.

Am I saying not to do it? I don't have a simple answer for that. I honestly think it's a waste of money, and if you put yourself into debt doing it, don't come to me for any help. You didn't need the surgery anyway. That's my biggest issue with aesthetic surgeries. If you don't need it, don't get it. End of story.
