Why do you think society places so much value on beauty when it has no functional purpose?
when it has no functional purpose?

We live in a society where the standards of beauty are very well marked, where being someone beautiful is synonymous of adoration and being a person as many say, "not very graceful is nobody ".

This is the point we have reached as a society, to divide people by labels and not value what really matters, our voice and what we can contribute to the world.

My personal opinion is based on the world, let's go to South Korea, in Korea the beauty standards are very strict, both for actors or Idols, we can also observe how many teenagers follow fashions of their favorite artists.
We have observed how many Idols wear themselves out physically and mentally, putting their health in danger and how their companies are their own executioners.

You can really have the greatest talent in the world, you can sing, dance, be a painter or even an engineer but if you don't have a beauty that stands out from the rest, you are not a person to be followed, unless everything is fixed with plastic surgery, which many seek to do in order to be part of that guild.

Everything has a monetary background, seeking the perfection of a human being and not encouraging personal growth, physical qualities are more important than mental ones.

I went through a painful part of my life, I did not feel comfortable with my body, I felt that I was obese, that no one would like me, I stopped eating important foods thinking that I was doing myself good, did I feel weaker? YES and that did not help, and it all started by seeing internet fashions, perfect bodies and I felt the need to look for "perfection " and not looking to feel healthy with myself, with my knowledge and with what I can contribute to society, which is the most important thing.

Labels are not necessary, beauty exists in many forms, in art, in nature but do we really have to get to the point of spoiling ourselves? To follow dangerous fashions in order to look good? If beauty has no functional purpose in the human being?

No, it is not necessary, we all have enough qualities to move forward, to empower ourselves and demand change and not encourage the growth of a society that appears to be fine and in reality is quite the opposite.

What job would you be absolutely terrible at?

I really have had the opportunity to work in many places and I have done very well, I like to learn a little bit of everything, but one job I would be very bad at is being a Chef, I love cooking and in fact the food is very tasty, but I can't cook with a lot of pressure on me, I feel I would explode and faint, which is ironic because my boyfriend is a chef haha.
