Flawless?

What is the definition of beauty? Some say that beauty is something present in a person that gives intense pleasure. Other definitions describe beauty as what individual cultures find appealing. I have not yet seen the word perfect in any definition or flawlessness for that matter. The truth is that beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has specific things that appease their likings. People today are striving for perfection thinking that it's the only way to feel attractive. Tanning beds, plastic surgery, make-up, and even eating disorders are the dangerous actions they're putting their bodies through to achieve a look that most people aren't even that fond of. When I think of beauty I think of ease and naturalness. In order to be considered beautiful you have to accept your flaws and accentuate what you do like. Happiness is so much more beautiful than sadness.
