Why do we place a strong emphasis on beauty?

What we believe and accept about ourselves determines our behavior and performance. These, in turn, create our results and our results affect our confidence levels. If we are like most people, how we feel about ourselves, good or bad, is largely dependent upon the degree of acceptance we have felt from the influential people in our lives.

If our parents or peers were obsessed with physical appearance, they may have pushed us into a life that devalued us. Just like some parents who push their beautiful daughter to have the best of everything because she is beautiful, everything with great expenses.but at the end when it comes to living their own life ,its turns all miserable because she was all dependent on business assosiastion and Unfortunately, as they grew older, there looks fadeds and she was no longer the beauty they had been. Because they relied completely on their beauty, they never developed any of the other interests, virtues, or qualities one might seek in a mate. they died bitter and alone - surrounded by her beauty pageant trophies.

Not to forget the media part and how they cover and emphasis on beauty and being thin and all those stuff, which I believe that these kind of feelings we can avoid by making better choices in the first place. ...

Parents very often cripple their children emotionally and cause their children to feel inadequate, not because they mean to, but because they are overly permissive or overly possessive. In many cases, these children never learn self-discipline, self-reliance or responsibility. These are the very characteristics that help us achieve. Achievement builds self-esteem.
