Cosmetic Surgery Is Not an Evil

  • Posted by Kingsley on March 24, 2012 at 12:24 pm

I find that in France, cosmetic surgery is still not well received. I practiced cosmetic surgery. Most people kept informed of my interventions I have viewed with skepticism and concern. I have had these experiences not only as a desire to beautify but also as a spiritual movement and aesthetics. Everything goes in the same direction and everything comes together: development and physical and psychological expansion. The amendment process is tenuous but real. For example, in morphopsychology, cheeks match the emotional area. Cheekbones are so well designed sign of emotional maturity. I did not know before I do ask malar implants … However, my experience supports this theory.

My confidence and my confidence have definitely increased … Force and Expansion are two words that come to describe my feelings. But how to stay home if the mirror shows only the mask of sadness, all the shame drunk but never discharged , a mask which eventually contaminate a lifetime? Self is no longer. The phrase “be yourself” makes me smile because that can be said to define a home? Itself fluctuate at the discretion of who, what, what movements of the soul, the past, such heaviness of eyelids, like marionette … But let’s be wary: in his omnipotence and the top of his knowledge, the surgeon is never a demiurge or a miracle worker.

It is often imbued, annoyed, anxious and extremely fallible. So, patience, reflection, lucid attempt on him but especially so on. Under these conditions, a change in physical appearance could not convert, but follow the contours of your existence and remodeling imperceptibly in some cases.

The Beauty Is Useless

  • Posted by Kingsley on March 18, 2012 at 12:22 pm

Am I the only person in the world to realizing it? How do you want to be beautiful? We cannot be successful and to gain respect. People treat you right away like a piece of meat, a decorative object. They just do not care that you have a heart. The beauty was never happiness. Women who rush to their plastic surgeon in the belief that it will change their lives inspire me with pity when you love someone, you could not care less about his appearance .

Loving someone for his physique, it’s pathetic. I want to cry to the world that I am not the doll for which they take me. Sometimes, when I was little and I was crying for me arrested, I was told: “Stop that, it makes you ugly. “That’s the stupidest thing to say to someone who is crying, does not it? I’m sick that I take for an object. If there has been intelligent people to understand how the status of women as objects can be overwhelming (Simone de Beauvoir was very well described in “The Mandarins”), today there seems to revere the appearances. Forget that even if the external beauty, it will never replace human feelings.

- Yes, but you, you look. And you’re there take time. If I let myself go, after three months, I would not be round, I’d be downright obese.

To break your ass to the gym yet, as if you could get fit, apple? Of you insist on wearing shoes with heels on the pretext that shrinks with age? To weep over your lenses instead of glasses to like me?

- If I’m sick! Fed up! But I cannot do otherwise. The day I will agree to see me huddled in little old lady, I will be good for the retirement home.

- Well, that’s not bad! At 50, you dreamed about: “Highly my 70 brushes, so I can let go of the railing, eat my fill, I feel good about the 42 instead of returning the stomach to slip painfully through the 38″ And there you are with what? Another ten or fifteen years to live pleasantly. You do not think you should enjoy it instead of condemn you to lead a losing battle? And for that also? Not for John Lawrence, anyway. It is safe for him on this side, so good. This is a bon vivant, a …

- He is a man, it’s different.

- And why it would be different. You can tell me? Why is it that we, the girls, let’s run after irretrievable youth and not them?

- Note, there are some who are very careful. And if they do, it’s like me, that’s one in particular, is to preserve their image of themselves. That said, the more it goes, the harder it is. It’s true. If I could, I would stop right there fees. But it’s too late now …

- Anything! It would suffice that you give up you make a color every three weeks, you …

- And my roots, you think about it? It would be horrible! No, impossible. I am condemned to die in little old young. “

José María Arguedas

  • Posted by Kingsley on March 10, 2012 at 3:19 pm

José María Arguedas was born in Andahuaylas (Peru), in 1911, in the heart of the Andean region’s poorest and most forgotten of the country.

It is very early in contact with the characters and the milieu that he would incorporate in its implemented.

The death of his mother and the frequent absences of her father, a lawyer, drives him to seek refuge among Indian farmers, which he acquires the Quechua language, beliefs and values.

Student at San Marcos University in Lima, it has many difficulties to adapt to the city without giving up the indigenous traditions, feeling everything can experience the Indian who must put aside their own culture to assimilate a different pace of lives.

These problems will follow him throughout his life, to the point of the handicap in the struggle for cultural and political recognition of the natives.

His struggle, especially Arguedas will express in his writings. In all three stories of the first edition of “Agua” (1935), in his first novel “Yawar Fiesta” (1941) and “y Diamantes Pedernales” (1954), we appreciate the effort of the author to provide version of the most authentic Andean life.

In these works Arguedas claims the right to the lifestyle of the Indian, without falling into a reverse racism.

The work of José María Arguedas includes at least three novels: “Los ríos profundos “(1956),” Todas las sangres “(1964) and” El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo “(1971). The latest novel remains unfinished.

The work that expresses most of lyricism and depth of the mythical world of the natives, with the persistence of its magical traditions, is undoubtedly “Los ríos Profundos”. Its merit is to present the nuances of Peru in the throes of intense mixing.

Recognizing the talent of the novelist, he was entrusted the ministry of culture of his country and he will make the official language Quechua language of Peru with Spanish.

But the social crisis that has gone on since 1968 will affect him deeply. In 1969, José María Arguedas committed suicide.

Following a head injury occurred in the 1930s, Borges gradually won by blindness. This handicap did not prevent him from working at the National Library (1938-1947), becoming its director in 1955.

That same year he began teaching English at the University of Buenos Aires. On the literary side, he turns from poetry to a genre that made ??him famous, that of narrative fiction.
