"یک قانون تغییرناپذیر و تردیدناپذیر در جهان زنانه در تمام تاریخ جریان دارد و بی‌وقفه در گوش زنان زمزمه می‌کند: "بایستی جذاب باشی"."

The core idea of this quote is that throughout history, women have been consistently and strongly pressured by societal expectations to be physically attractive. It's like there's been this silent commandment directing women to focus on their looks above almost everything else.

Historically, this stems from deep-rooted cultural norms. From ancient civilizations to modern times, societies have often defined a woman's value by her appearance. Take the ancient Egyptians, for example. They had elaborate beauty rituals and cosmetics, which were seen as essential for women. Fast forward to the Victorian era, and you see women wearing tight corsets to achieve the 'ideal' hourglass figure. Even in the 1950s, the media was saturated with images of perfectly groomed housewives, reinforcing the idea that attractiveness was crucial.

Now, let’s talk about a real-life example. Think about the fashion industry today—it's a billion-dollar business that thrives on this very principle. Models are often selected based on very specific, and sometimes unattainable, standards of beauty. This creates a ripple effect where everyday women feel the pressure to match these images. For instance, consider the immense popularity of social media platforms. Instagram, in particular, is a place where beauty standards are on full display. Influencers with millions of followers often present a highly curated version of themselves, usually appearing flawless. This has a powerful impact on those who follow them, often leading to anxiety and self-esteem issues because many feel they don't measure up.

So, how can we apply this wisdom in our lives? First, let’s acknowledge that these pressures exist and they’re not going away overnight. But we have the power to challenge them. Instead of striving for an unattainable standard, focus on what makes you feel good. This might mean embracing your natural beauty or finding your unique style. Surround yourself with positive influences that celebrate diverse definitions of beauty. It’s not about rejecting the idea of attractiveness—it's about redefining it in a way that’s authentic to you.

Imagine a scenario: You’ve got a big presentation at work. The night before, you’re fretting over what to wear. You feel you need to look immaculate because you’ve internalized this idea that your appearance will heavily influence how you’re perceived. But then, you remember this wisdom. You decide to wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable, rather than something that conforms to a stringent standard. When you walk into that room, you’re not just presenting your work—you’re presenting the best, most authentic version of yourself. And guess what? That’s incredibly attractive.

In the end, it’s about recognizing that this 'law' doesn't have to rule your life. Yes, society has its expectations, but you get to choose how much weight you give them. By focusing on what truly makes you feel good, you can start to reshape not just how you see yourself, but also how the world sees you.

So next time you catch yourself stressed about your appearance, remember: your worth isn’t dictated by how well you fit into society’s mold. You’ll probably still feel the pressure, but with this perspective, you’ll be better equipped to handle it. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll start to hear a different whisper—one that celebrates you for who you truly are.
