A news article caught my attention this morning, it was about a young Thai woman, 33, who died after weeks in coma, following an illegal cosmetic filler injection into her buttocks: 'Sleeping beauty' dies after weeks in coma

In today's world, beauty seems to become the obsession of so many people, both men and women. But why do people seek to look "better" and spend a fortune on cosmetics/ plastic surgeries and other beautification treatments?
I personally think that the answer to these questions could originate on the fact that few people are really "thankful" to Allah for what they already have, people are not satisfied with themselves because they fail to recognize the blessings that Allah Has already bestowed on them. Another possible answer is that people are seeking to please the society, or please "other ones" rather than Allah, and both the society and "other one" will just never be pleased, no matter what they could do.
It is impossible to get everything to make a person happy. There will always be something else that this person would seek to have. The Prophet (S) talked about this in his hadeeth, as Narrated by Ibn 'Abbas:
I heard the Prophet saying, "If the son of Adam (the human being) had two valley of money, he would wish for a third, for nothing can fill the belly of Adam's son except dust, and Allah forgives him who repents to him." 444. Volume 8, Book 76 To make the Heart Tender
Allah the Exalted says (what means): “And if you should count the favor of Allah, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, mankind is [generally] most unjust and ungrateful.” (14:34)
And The Exalted said (what means): “And if you should count the favors of Allah, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (16:18)
The neighbour's grass looks always greener, seek the happiness in what you already have, look for the people who are below you and don't look at the ones above you, that will allow you to appreciate what you already have and would lead you to thank Allah.You will then certainly find the beauty inside you.
May Allah Make Blessings in All that He Bestowed on us and Make our hearts satisfied with His Favors.
