Considerate : Plastic Surgery

In this era, I guess getting a plastic surgery has become a normal routine for many people. However, in this society that we are living in, there are always critiques. The society is divided into 3 categories. One who accepts, one who rejects and one who is always sitting on the fence. Either way, I sum up the 3 of them.

I will speak this with just my opinions.

I have seen a few of the famous bloggers who have gotten themselves plastic surgeries. They have the courage to post about it and share to the public. Of course, when your personal life stories are being posted online, you probably have to anticipate for the nasty or encouraging comments from the readers. Some people who cannot accept the sudden change by the knife will definitely leave nasty comments that critic the person. Going beyond the line, some may even leave hatred comments saying how wannabes they look or how fake they look. These readers will never know how their comments will influence that person.

I feel bad for the person who has undergone plastic surgery to read those comments. I feel that we as the third party, have to learn how to be considerate to people. Why?

Here are my thoughts to it.

When they have already risk their lives and investing their fortunes into this operation, we, the third party do not have much rights to vandalize them morally and mentally. You can never feel the anxiety and worries that they have to go through before entering the operation room. Yes, you will definitely lash back by saying "why choose to do it?". People are given choices in life on how they want to live it. So, when they have chosen a different path from what you are taking, do not complain. They have never been chained to you to follow your principles in life. As one has made a decision to walk that road, be RESPECTFUL and SUPPORTIVE.

Well, you are allowed to advise them but if they have settled their mind on it, the least and most you can do is stand by them. They always have their reasons that shape them to think that way. Try putting yourself in their shoes. Imagine the horror of the knife cutting through you. Then, replace the person on the operating table with the actual person going through it. Remember that the person who is taking the risk is NOT you.

That is why the third party for example the readers or any other strangers on the road shall not give them a disgusted look and comments. No matter how bad you cannot accept that fact and you want to express it so badly, please be kind with your words. Do not use harsh words that bring their confidence level down. Put in some supportive words among your not so nice sentences to be a nicer person.

One harsh comment is able to ruin a person's day but one supportive comment is able to brighten up their day as well. I personally do not feel any harm being a nicer person. You feel good, they feel good, everyone feels good!

Bad News : Sad to say, this cruel society can never promise that.
