Embrace beauty even if it's fake

Is natural beauty truely superior to cosmetically or chemicaly enhanced beauty? And is there real value anymore to staying real?
Would you envy someone whose looks have been altered through plastic surgery?No, because it is either too fake, or too perfect that makes it seems so unatural. In my opinion, beauty is subjective. However, that is if your looks are natural. At times, it is the flaw or imperfection in one's looks that draws the opposite party's attention. It is these differences and variations in our looks that makes us unique for who we are. Plastic surgery has come into existance because of many girl's desire for good looks. And, how do they define good looks? Having a sharp nose? big wide eyes? Like that of a barbie doll or that of models on the walkway? In fact, these are only stereotypes of beauty,like fashion. Beauty is like a piece of art work, they are valued for their originiality and nothing more.
Looks are like packages.I admit that first images are important. However, packages do not decide the quality of the goods that are hidden deep within. There are other innate qualities that we should consider, like intelligence and character development, which plays a more important role in personal growth.
The writer suggested that we should embrace beauty even if it is fake because we have to learn to move forward and progress in out thoughts. However, I question the fact to why we should accept technology blindly, acting liberal, eventhough we know we are going aginst our conscience by altering the looks God have given us. In my opinion, moving forward is to only adopt new comings that are beneficial to the society and ourselves. This way, technology will not be able to manipulate us in turn.
