In a society that claims perfection, the youth die gradually each day by choice: starvation by choice; purging by choice; slow suicide by choice.

Western civilization is built on greatness, but is completely obsessed with the false idea of flawlessness. Why? It obviously lies in the West’s distorted quest for excellence.

From birth, Western children are indoctrinated into the “cult of success.” The cult preaches that life is pointless unless brilliance is pursued, unless brilliance is found and unless brilliance is maintained. In other words, the Western youth must either select perfection or complete failure.

Under these circumstances, the choice is painfully clear. With celebrities that become thinner as they become more influential, and the constant onslaught of fad diets, the West’s obsession for perfection is personified by ‘weight.’

No one is too thin and everyone is too fat. Adolescents yearn to hear words that acknowledge their thinness; these words validate the diets, the compulsive exercising and the self-hatred. What happened to self-acceptance?

Self-acceptance does not exist. Society will not allow the idea of self-approval to spread, for it would only cause anarchy. Imagine a world in which plastic surgery, eating disorders and self-mutilation was unnecessary-the very idea is absurd!

Everyone knows that jutting ribs and hip bones are sexy, which is why pictures of poverty-stricken Ethiopia are practically considered porn in most elite groups.

The West created a monster called beauty. It now roams houses, schools and office buildings devouring the soul of all who look upon its horror.
