You are more than just body parts.... you are a special.

I am not a followerer of "stars" but I will make this an exception. It's all over the news that Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy. A woman considered so beautiful and considered so sexy by men and women, had her breasts removed. Not, only that, but her life partner and father of her children is still around. A man also considered sexy and "rich". Of all that they have done to help the world and less fortunate, this may be the most meaningful one. To think that men have abandoned their wives because they felt that the woman was not "sexy" enough. Men have been known to leave their longtime wives for younger women. They have abandoned their children as well. Men and women have believed they are "too good" to be with someone who does not present themselves in a "sexy" manner. Dating sites are full of women putting emphasis on their breasts. In short, we live in a superficial world where "looks" are emphasized.Some men have actually persuaded their wives and girlfriends against chemotherapy so that they don't lose their hair. I am touched by how the Pitt-Jolie partnership has gracefully handled Angelina's situation and decision. We are all human and no one is perfect, imperfection is part of perfection in my opinion. Once we meet someone and commit to them, we are commited to them and their soul. Not to their body parts and genitalia. In true committment, the better or worse part, the parts can go, but the love and comitment should be there until death takes it away from this earth. I applaud the Pitt-Jolies. Many they have many years of health and happiness.
