Everyone of us know that we have different perspectives and opinions in life. That's why there's the word 'argument'. Yes, we do have similar ideas but what makes us stand out is our different views. I just wanna share with you the different standards of beauty in different tribes. Here in the Philippines, we know that someone is beautiful when she's white, sexy, has a shiny hair. But did you know that among the Surma(own name Suri) and Mursi people of the lower Omo River valley in Ethiopia, about 6-12 months before marriage the woman's lip is pierced by her kinswomen, usually around the age of 15-18.
Furthermore, in Tibet, their standard of beauty is the stretched earlobes!
While in Africa, they stretched the necks of the lady, and that's their sign of beauty.

All of us have different standard of beauty. But as always, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone of us has a unique beauty within ourselves. And that's what others people have to discover.

Weird right? In China (if I remember it right), their standard of beauty is the size of their feet. So, women there at an early age have to bend their feet just to make it small.
@puzzle: Yeah, I find it really weird. But maybe it's weird to us but to their culture, it's just normal, and sometimes required. I just feel lucky that I do not belong to that tribe.
