Comparisons, Part 2

May 6, 2011 By Gail


In an interesting chain of events, I had another view of female comparing. I was having lunch with a new friend today and she shared this story:
Dianne was staying in a small village in Tibet. One day she decided to go to the next biggest town and visit the hot baths…a place that is not exactly an American spa, but feels pretty good at the time. Before she arrived two Tibetan women asked if they could come along. The “tubs” are in private rooms, but they are 5 x 5 feet square, so all three women went in the hot water. Dianne said it wasn’t what she was used too, but when in Tibet…
The following day Dianne was told one of the women was depressed to have bathed with her. When asked why, she was told the woman felt ashamed because Dianne was so much more beautiful. Dianne was stunned because, in her view, the Tibetan women were gorgeous! I wonder if the lesson here is that women around the world struggle with self-esteem issues. Even those who are not drenched in media garbage. It was a sobering thought.

A Message From Gail

Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, inspiration, aging & midlife lessons and advice on dealing with menopause. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.

    I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
