no one is perfect. if you have something good, and you have to have something bad. human always want to have many things, they are rarely satified with what they have. that why they often complain about their body, their poverty or sadness. i think we should know when it is enough for us. many people think that owning a attractive body and beautiful face is great. but i don't think so. knowing that you are beautiful will make you think you get "star sick" - this is my own word- it mean you always think you must have high status, people have to pay attention to you because of your beauty.sometimes you can get trouble in love,also. what do you think if one day, a friend or boyfriend that you like him so much tell you that he had wrong feelings with you, that he thought he loved you but in fact, he didn't, just because you are beautiful and it made him had wrong feelings? I mean that if you are beautiful you have to care about if he really love you?
