The mirror of the soul

The nose, mouth, cheekbones have been retouched. She is unrecognizable, completely transformed. What does he see in the mirror? do you like Now he will face every day an image that is not his, the unknown of what it would be like if he had not gone through the operating room. He will have to face a poorly thought out decision.

More and more young people are undergoing aesthetic treatments. The average age of the first intervention has gone from 35 to 20. We had never been so aware of our physique. By taking a selfie, in the video call window. And they want to be like they are with the filters; they want huge eyes, full lips, to be manga drawings, to have a doll face.

Previous generations also suffered from aesthetic pressure, especially women. The question is: once you start, when do you stop? There is no stopping point, there is no moment when you stop and think: "That's it, there is nothing more to correct". You can still get closer to perfection, to your ideal of beauty. This business applies the same slogan of "more equals better" that tourism, macro farms, excessive construction and any system that makes money, even if unlimited growth is unsustainable, use.

Because, yes, when you are 50 years old you will look 35; at 60 your factions will be those of someone 45; at 70, from 58. But you will continue to age, even if it seems less. The rubric of who operated on you is in every detail that turns your face into one of so many other faces outlined by the same pattern. Hiding age, stress and fatigue does not mean they are not there.

I read that many celebrities regret having entered the spiral of cosmetic interventions because they feel that they have lost a part of themselves. Before distorting such an aspect of identity, you should ask yourself if this is the change you really want to make. But the touches are already the mirror of the soul of this society.
