The Ugly Face of Beauty

The Ugly Face of Beauty was a presentation given by Gobikha and Nilani. It has become apparent in our society that selflessness is often replaced by selfies! As a result, we looked at what defined external beauty, which is driven by ego. We then compared that to internal beauty, which is driven by compassion and selflessness. In a world where it has become an obsession to look “perfect”, we as the youth wing wanted to promote the importance of inner beauty rather than the façade which is demonstrated externally by the majority of people in our modern generation.

Our presentation included an inspirational example, Mr Narayanan Krishnan, an altruistic man who is seen as more beautiful on the inside due to his selflessness. Krishnan provides food for those who are poor and destitute. By providing unconditional love his inner beauty shines through. Through Krishnan’s actions we are able to observe "the ultimate purpose of life" which is ‘to save people by giving’.
