115 lbs, 5'7'', perfect long blonde hair, a size C chest(at the smallest), no IQ(if ya have a high one...keep quiet or just keep quiet anyway) and ya got the perfect woman. at least according to society's media set standard.
230 lbs, 6'2'', body perfectly built, standard IQ, lots of $$$, new sports car, maybe a penthouse and ya got the perfect man. at least according to society's media set standard.
from my somewhat limited understanding...I'm not aware of anyone on this campus that fits those standards. guess we all fall short of ideal. what can we do? society says diet, plastic surgery, lift weights, make money(scam if ya have to)...do whatever it takes to achieve the standard minimum perhaps attain more.
if you don't feel the pressure to be the "perfect ideal" just how far removed from society are you?
so what can we as Christians do? well, we can start by not succuming to this standard ourselves and by not setting those expectations on others. we can start by loving and accepting all people as they are. we can start by praying earnestly, fervantly, honestly to see through God's eyes and to have a God-centered heart. that's a good start.
