Hi Violet,
Good health, peace, and end to human cruelty are very honorable goals to aspire to, in my opinion.
Looks? Elle's legs? Well, that is in the hands of the ole spin of the genes. Perfection is a myth. Besides, who says Elle's legs are perfect? They may be aesthetically pleasing to some people, but not to everyone.
Having what society calls a great bod certainly does not guarantee a meaningful life. It also does not guarantee good health. Emotionally or physically.
I remember watch an interview with a model on TV a while back. She had struggled with bulimia for years. She talked about how with computers even their own "perfect" bodies were "altered" to look "better". Waists were whittled down, and clevage was "puffed" up a bit. So, even PERFECTION has to be, well, perfected .
Violet, just do your best to live up to your OWN potential.
Andee
