That’s right, the American obsession with appearance apparently has affected those beyond the grave as well as those here and still very much alive on earth. It’s no secret that Americans are increasingly obsessed with their appearance, obsessing over their facial features, staving off wrinkles and sun damage, pulling this and that up or down, getting their boobs bigger, getting tummy tucks and liposuction. Basicaly, you name it these days, and you can get it done in a surgeon’s office somewhere. Call it the age of vanity, or some may just say the age of perfection.
While I don’t agree with obsessive or excessive plastic surgery or cosmetic procedures, I believe that they do have their place for many in modern society who use them wisely, and don’t get too carried away with changing their features so that they become a shadow of their former selves. After all, one of the greatest things about humanity is that we all have a uniqueness that makes each and every one of of special, and some of that should be honored, since we don’t all want to look like cookie cutter versions of eachother.
Some people are opting to undergo cosmetic procedures so that they can look better in their sendoff to the afterlife, or whatever it is they happen to believe in after we die and pass off of this earth. Most likely the reasons are often that they want to look at their personal best for a wake, or that they simply want to look their best when they pass away, and take comfort in knowing that post mortem they will get the treatment they want.
Do I understand it? No, not really, but as with everything else, it’s a personal choice, and who are we to judge what others deem suitable in their lives? Naturally you can understant how this practice may raise some eyebrows though! No pun intended
