The Age of Unsatisfaction

We live today in the Age of Unsatisfaction. People are not happy with themselves as they are, and so they seek to change themselves, to hide behind an illusion. Whether it's their eye or hair color that they're changing, or they wish to remove part of their body through liposuction or surgery, they believe that these changes are good. But what we are really doing is destroying ourselves, choosing to wear masks instead of showing the faces we believe are horribly disfigured. We think so low of our current state that we are always thinking of ways to improve ourselves, often at the cost of others. But there's beauty in nature, and as we have learned to appreciate that beauty, so must we learn to appreciate our own beauty, without resorting to artificial means to inducing change in our bodies.

It is now time to remove our masks and proudly display our individuality instead of conforming to the accepted social norm.

Until next time, remember: What we are and what we are not are the exact same thing.
