cosmetic surgery

get an idea about the topic:

it was in the very morning yesterday. when i came to the office, i saw my financial manager (aged over 50) browsing on the net in front of his desktop, with two pieces of small white gauze attached on each his pouch under his eye. i didn’t know what had happened to his eyes so i felt pretty curious, “morning, manager, what’s wrong with your eyes?” “oh, i went to the eye doctors yesterday, for the purpose of beautifying my eyes, so i resected my pouches under my eyes and must wear the gauze on my eyes’ pouch in order to keep stable shape of my eyes.” he answered, smiling…

    hitherto, i don’t know how many people may give a nod to the cosmetic surgery, nor do i know how many people may frown on it. but yet we are unable to stop the cosmetic surgery from playing an increasingly strong role in our daily life. obviously it is conceivable that with people’s standard of living become higher and higher, what most of them are no longer worried about basic human needs—food, clothes, house, but those, especially of which can please them to look young or vigorous. so, the cosmetic surgery is universally existed in our side with its reasons and merits that many people may think irrespective of the situation that cosmetic surgery has come into existence.

there is a saying goes, “ never judge from appearances.”  as a rule, most of us demand justice for the body as well as for the soul. can we in fact find the beauty of the soul that cannot be easily appeared by looking by cosmetic surgery?  can we designate those who appeared ugly are generally evil-hearted?  personally i will give a negative answer to each, without any slight suspicion. cosmetic surgery, therefore, is no use beautifying your inner spirit, but your feature only.

    moreover, bertrand russell has once told, clearly, that how to grow old in one of his masterpieces. he says, “psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. one of these is undue absorption in the past.” that is to say, we should not live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. our thoughts must be directed to the future, and to things about which there is something to be done. of course this is not always easy. “the other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of sucking vigor from its vitality.” he continues. when your children are grown up you should begin to be aware of declining your interest in them as you were when they were young. but your interest should be contemplative and, if possible, philanthropic, but not unduly emotional. these dangers, here he declared only to be avoided in one’s old age, but i think most of adults should think they are also proper for them to consider, in order to anti-older physically and psychologically.  

what do you think, friends?
