Beautiful People are not Automatically Entitled

Here's a news flash. Just because you are physically beautiful, you are not automatically entitled to whatever you want. There are a few reasons for this. First, your beauty is only because someone else has decided that, at this point in time, you are beautiful. Second, no one is automatically entitled to whatever they want. This could be surprising to some, but I think the truth needs to be said.

Let's take a look at the first point. Throughout history, physical beauty has been a fickle thing. At times, women were revered for narrow waists and large rear ends. That is why they would bustle their dresses. During the 1920's, women with flat busts were the most glamourous, to the point where women with breasts would bind their chests to appear smaller. During the 1980's and since, bigger was better. Long thick hair, pulled up into a bun was all the rage in the late 1800's. During the 1920's, the bob was in. My point is that physical beauty is as changeable as the wind. What was beautiful one day will not be beautify another. Therefore, physical beauty has nothing to do with being entitled to anything.

Second, no one can ever just get what they want. This has been true since time began. Surely, there was a time when there were only a few people on the planet and it seemed like they could get everything they wanted. But since then, whenever someone tried to take what they wanted, a war broke out. At times, it was a minor war; other times it was a major, world war. Sometimes, it was a simple spat between siblings. But the point is, once you take what you want, you are depriving someone of something for them.

All of this has to do with the Salahis. There is no doubt that they believe they are beautiful. And I suppose many would say that they are. I heard one report that Mrs. Salahi spent nearly a whole day at the salon getting ready for the big night. Obviously, the people who supposedly filmed her day for a reality show thought so or they wouldn't have been there. From everything I have heard and read, they felt entitled to their day in the sun, or their night at the White House.

But the truth is they have taken from other people. They have taken a few nights of sleep from people who have sworn to defend the leader of the country to which the Salahis belong. They have taken time from the Congress who should be trying to solve important problems like healthcare or joblessness. They have taken time from the reporters who could be covering stories about philanthropists (as if that would happen). Most importantly, they have taken away from an event that was special for all the people who were invited.

Physically beautiful people are not entitled to whatever they want. In fact, I would go so far as to say that physically beautiful people who feel entitled are beautiful only on the outside.
