Apreciadas damas de la colmena, un gusto estar nuevamente participando en este magnífico concurso comunitario #122. Gracias a @justclickindiva por estas interesantes preguntas.
Why do you think society places such a high value on beauty
when it serves no functional purpose?
Beauty is a form of expression in every sense, we can find beauty in nature, in art and in countless things that are present in this material world. But undoubtedly, one of the things that has more attention and is given more weight in society is physical beauty, both in women and men.
Therefore, I believe that society has become accustomed to marveling at beauty, they feel that it is worthy of admiration and that is why it has been given such a great and sometimes even disproportionate value. In reality, I believe that beauty will always be subjective, it is as they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", that is to say; what is beautiful to me may not be beautiful to someone else.
La belleza es una forma de expresión en todo sentido, podemos encontrar belleza en la naturaleza, en el arte y en infinidad de cosas que están presentes en este mundo material. Pero sin lugar a dudas, una de las que tiene más atención y a la que se le da más peso en la sociedad es la belleza física, tanto en mujeres como en hombres.
Por tanto, creo que la sociedad se ha acostumbrado a maravillarse con la belleza, sienten que es digna de admirar y por eso se le ha dado un valor tan grande y a veces hasta desproporcionado. En realidad, creo que la belleza siempre será subjetiva, es como dicen, “la belleza se encuentra en el ojo de quién la mira”, es decir; lo que es bello para mí puede no serlo para otro.

However, this society, rather than admiring beauty in its purest form, and by this I mean honoring and agreeing that we are all beautiful by nature, because we are beings who have the joy of existing. They have created standards of beauty that are exaggerated and with them have given way to a large consumer industry such as fashion, who have imposed that to be beautiful you have to achieve a status of perfection that is really illusory.
So, even when it has no functional purpose, the fact of being beautiful has been idolized at any cost due to these standards and many are those who have benefited from this way of conceiving the characteristics that are considered ideal. Every day there are more and more methods to achieve the longed-for beauty, rejuvenating, anti-aging and plastic surgeries, which make people transform themselves physically in order to fit in.
But we must not forget that true beauty is not physical, but the one that resides in our spirit, in what defines us, in our qualities and in who we are. Let us not allow this concept of beauty imposed by society to erode our spirit and fill us with insecurities.
No obstante, esta sociedad más que admirar la belleza en su forma más pura y con esto me refiero a honrar y estar de acuerdo en que todos somos bellos por naturaleza, porque somos seres que tienen la dicha de existir. Han creado estándares de belleza que son exagerados y a los que con ellos se les ha dado paso a una gran industria de consumo como lo es la moda, quienes han impuesto que para ser bellos hay que lograr un estatus de perfección que es realmente ilusorio.
Entonces, aun cuando no tenga un propósito funcional, se ha idolatrado el hecho de ser bellos a como de lugar debido a estos estándares y muchos son los que se han beneficiado de esta manera de concebir las características que se consideran ideales. Cada día hay más métodos para conseguir la tan anhelada belleza, rejuvenecedores, antienvejecimiento y cirugías plásticas, que hacen que las personas se transformen físicamente para poder encajar.
Pero no debemos olvidar que la verdadera belleza no es física, sino la que reside en nuestro espíritu, en aquello que nos define, en nuestras cualidades y en quienes somos. No permitamos que este concepto de belleza impuesto por la sociedad nos merme el espíritu y nos llene de inseguridades.

What job would you be absolutely terrible at?
I am convinced that working as a waitress would never be my thing, since I have never had enough balance to carry plates of food and drinks. Not to mention that I don't have such a good memory to take orders, remember the order of each table and keep track of what is consumed.
I checked this, because some time ago I worked as a cashier in a vegetarian food venture and one day the waiter was absent and I had to help serve and I was literally going crazy, I confused people's orders, the pressure was constant because I had to have everything in order and I did not know how to do it. I do not know, but for me, it is complicated, because besides working under pressure, it is not easy to deal with stress and be at 100% at all times, not to mention the long hours of work that must be met, for this and more I value very much the people who do this job, since they are not simple as it seems.
Estoy convencida de que trabajar de mesonera, jamás sería lo mío, ya que nunca he tenido suficiente equilibrio, cómo para llevar platos de comida y bebidas. Sin contar que no tengo tan buena memoria para tomar los pedidos, recordar la orden de cada mesa y llevar la cuenta de lo que consumen.
Esto lo comprobé, ya que hace un tiempo trabaje como cajera, en un emprendimiento de comida vegetariana y un día faltó el mesonero y me tocó ayudar a servir y literalmente estaba enloqueciendo, confundí el pedido de las personas, la presión era constante porque debía tener todo en orden y no supe hacerlo. No lo sé, pero para mí, es complicado, ya que aparte de trabajar bajo presión, no es sencillo lidiar con el estrés y estar al 100% en todo momento, sin contar las largas horas de trabajo que se deben cumplir, por esto y más valoro mucho a las personas que ejercen este trabajo, puesto que no están sencillo como parece.

Totally agree on that, society is what makes us feel that we are only physical and sometimes there are those who believe it and do not cultivate the most important thing which is the spirit. Thanks for sharing @atma.love .
Blessings ✨💫🌟🤗🙂🙏🏻🙏🏻
Muy en acuerdo con lo que dices querida @indumukhi, la sociedad nos ha arropado con el valor desproporcionado que le da a la belleza física sin tomar en cuenta la que realmente es duradera, la belleza espiritual, esta es la que deberíamos reforzar ya que es la que nos dirá lo que somos realmente como persona.
Yo también trabaje como cajera y me toco también atender mesa, con la gran ventaja que el local no se llenaba de tal manera como para que se me olvidaran los pedidos, pero no me imagino en el restaurant que nos invitaron a comer el domingo, el cual estaba full y en cada mesa habían mínimo 5 personas😲 de hecho los mesoneros al llegar preguntaban para quien era cada bebida 😅de verdad que los que lo ejercen son de admiración. Fue un gusto leerte amiga. Bendiciones y suerte en el concurso 🙏🏽💖🌺
Ay si son de admirar, yo me volví un ocho, cuando me tocó ser mesonera esa vez jejeje. Creo que todo el mundo se dió cuenta también de mi mal desempeño 😄..
Gracias por siempre tomarte el tiempo de leerme. 🌻🌷✨🌺🤗🙏🏻💫
Yes, true beauty is the quality we possess inside us, the appearance can be deceitful, thanks for sharing
Thanks to you for reading me @desiredlady . Happy day to you 🙂💫🌺🌟
Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder! I think society should look more at inner beauty than outer beauty. They might just be surprised what attracts them! Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day!
Yes, it would be really amazing if society started to take more into account the essence of people instead of being influenced by their physical appearance.

Hello @indumukhi. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your responses to the two contest questions. You are correct in that beauty is subjective:
Nicely put. I feel the same way.
When it comes to the type of job I'd be terrible at, you served up the right order. I could never be a waitress because I wouldn't remember the orders either if more than two people were dining at the same table. Also, I've always wondered how they hold those large trays in their palms. Can you imagine if someone put their foot out or spilled something on the floor. OMG...there she goes. Cleanup on section...and someone call 911, please!
Thanks so much for your thoughts on the topics.
Take care and have a good rest of your week.

I agree with you, it is not easy to be a waitress and it is really a challenge, there are so many situations like the ones you mention that can arise and one must solve.
I was delighted to participate. Thank you very much for the incredible questions @justclickindiva

Even the Gothic esthetics have their own rigid conceptions of physical beauty.
Thanks 4 sharing @indumukhi

Focusing on beauty is easier then focusing on the true values the person holds and we humans are expert in short cuts :-)
