What is the idea behind Plastic Surgery? It came out of war. It was developed to beg and borrow from the healthy places in our body to makeup for form lost to disease and injury.
What is Plastic surgery today. It is still those things but an idea has crept up that one can make oneself better.
What is better? Here I am peddling breast reduction, breast augmentation, abdominal reduction and sculpting, nose surgery, facelifts and what not. With this satchel of wares on my shoulder, I carry an intangible burden. The burden of not trying to convince you that one of my wares is the only thing you need to “fix” you.
Have we reached too much , too many, too soon?
I miss the days of silence, birdsong and chatter. The blue of this screen seems to tell you that you can be better. You can get a fix. Learn to simply walk away. You are your only judge, but don’t judge yourself in a hall of mirrors. If your identity seems to overpower you to the extent of lassitude remember you are an elaborate and intricate speck of dust on an elaborate and intricate speck of dust in the vastness of observable universe.
The wares are here but they don’t fix you. They are here for you to forget about self and move on. Enjoy the things that matter.
