Of being fair as it equates beauty

Is it  proper to say that girls and guys that are fair are beautiful???

Does being fair in complexion automatically mean that person is beautiful???

Yesterday after the mass which I attended I took some time to study the ladies and guys that entered the church for the second mass and I was shocked to the teeth with the way some ladies have so toned their skin that they have the beauty and the beast look combo which made me almost screamed 'there is the Masquerade run for your life'

But let us look at it from this angle the likes of Desmond Elliot, RMD,  Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade, Chioma  Akpotha,  Mercy Johnson, Agbani Darego and even the foreign celebrities like Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Terrence Howard, Jussie Smollett, Rihanna,  Beyonce, Vivica fox, Oprah Winfrey, Taraji P Henson, Gabrielle Union just to mention a few are all blacks and they are proud of their skin colour plus they are beauties

For the ladies and guys that are towing this line, being fair doesn't make you beautiful except we might have to redefine what beauty means.

Being beautiful comes from inside and radiates on the outside like the sun that brings what it has inside to shine upon the world making everything colourful and adorable.

If you don't love the colour of your skin then why should someone call you a 'Pulchre'. If every now and then you use different skin-toning creams and soaps just to look fair and be regarded as beautiful then you are on a highway to depression. Beauty is not skin deep it is heart deep.

Beauty is not dependent so much on how you look and how you appear. It is dependent on how you feel about yourself and how you try to protect that person called self. Not destroying self so as to look like Mr A or Miss B.

I know society has caused some of this smokeless fire but should we continue to go by the social norm in a bid to be seen as 'normal' people thereby living an unhappy life.

In a nutshell black is beautiful. skin-toning is evil. If you ask me I would say be yourself and forget what anybody has said or would say about you. You are beautiful.
