When a girl shines in the light of her mind, yet in-laws's house she can't be loved just because of the colour of her skin, then it becomes difficult to be satisfied with her own colour. Then it seems that not being beautiful in this world is a terrible crime. Some comforting words can be heard in the vicinity. For example : "Even if she is black, her mind is good or even if she is black, she is talented" etc. That is to say, we are acknowledging that being black is a deficiency by repeatedly saying "Even if she is black".
Yes, beauty is needed both externally and internally. However, it is never desirable to define beauty or ugliness by the definition of so-called beauty. How many of us have a sense of beauty beyond the so-called external beauty? People cannot be ugly just because of their skin colour or for not having 'so-called beauty'. Physically some may be a little more beautiful, some a little less. Someone's hair is beautiful, someone's nose is beautiful. Someone has beautiful speaking style or someone's smile is beautiful. There is something or other of beauty in all creation. The manifestation of form is based on how well a person presents himself. The effect of skin colour is very minor. Beauty is manifested in the colour of the clothes, in the accessories of the outfit. Beauty emerges in the midst of a wonderful personality. Beauty blossoms in the colour of the heart. Sometimes the beauty of the heart surpasses the physical beauty. The beauty that is manifested from within, that beauty is really fascinating. In fact, every human being has a different type of beauty. Each person is different. Every human being is beautiful for one reason or another. So in this glittering world of the 21st century, there is no room for inferiority or criticism of skin colour. The definition of beauty is changing.
