The fact of storytelling hints at a fundamental human unease, hints at human imperfection. Where there is perfection there is no story to tell.

First of all this is an opinion on the young these days who tend to give up their struggle with imperfections and try copying other people to fill in that gap of imperfectness.Time and time again I see the young trying to be an iconic celebrity (not as in look up to but as in really copying their worshiped icon 100%). Some individuals also then to be overly fashion whores (yes and I am not bleeping the word) and will feel depressed or get overly dramatic if they do not get the latest trend in fashion or cosmetics. These type of people get on my nerves cause they attract lots of sales promoter trying to sell me in-trend stuff saying the cliche line of "It's the in thing, everybody MUST have one" and push the stuff further into my view or they block my path. Usually I'd say politely no thank you if I'm in a good mood, if not you will get the regular "Go F&*K yourself and have a nice day" (yes I have done it multiple times folks).This has been going on since I was a kid that I'm guessing till I kick the bucket I'll be hating certain fashion-wear, cosmetics and beauty products and perfumes (If I do end up in Hell I'll be sure to bring some stuff in those categories to burn with me as well).
Secondly, there's also the issue of people wanting a dream body shape or weight, which is fine BUT not when you do it the wrong way.Plastic surgery for self indulgence is to me just wrong, why the hell would you do something like that just to make your "assets bigger" or your tummy trimmer where you know it is gonna hurt like hell and there can be complications. Although I must say it will be funny to see a post mortem report report saying a lady/gent died from enlarging their assets or getting their tummy tucked.....nevertheless in seriousness, I don't think they would feel the sense of gratification of getting their ideal body weight by plastic surgery in comparison to working out for it.
Thirdly, if we mimick another individuals personality and literally copy their traits cause people like it and plug our own up inside, would you not lose a sense of who you are? If you erase the imperfect part of your personality out by copying a positive trait instead of working to overcome your own negative one then is it not like you are white washing a layer of someone's personality over your own? I don't get why sometimes people tend to get upset over the smallest incident's but then again I don't tell them to erase that trait from their life. Your own personality is like key-points for your own identity, work to overcome your flaws but never stamp another person's personality over your negative ones.Let's face it if you are perfect then what is the point of getting satisfaction,gratification, motivation or even a sense of achievement in your daily life if you are not being yourself?
Finally, I would like to leave you guys with a few more questions, Is it worth it to spend all that cash when you know that in the future you will need it urgently?
Will you regret trying to be perfect by doing all of the above instead of working on dealing with your own imperfections? Do you think that you would still know who you really are if you erase your imperfections? That's something to ponder on about, later's.
