BEAUTY AND LIFESTYLE – BE-YOU-TIFUL

 
 Beauty, to many is the way people look outwardly and inwardly.   Others limit beauty to the physical looks of a person, place or a   thing. Beauty can also be seen in the culture and lifestyle of people.   This is to say beauty goes far beyond physical looks especially     now,  with the pressure of daily demands and busy schedules, some   people hardly have the time to even look into the mirror or take   proper care of themselves.

 Moreover, the way people dress, talk and even live also brings out   some beauty in them. Thus the saying “there is beauty in diversity”.   The knowledge of "beauty" often involves the understanding of   some entity as being in stability and harmony with nature. Physical   beauty often implies sexual attractiveness or desirability, but can   also be distinct from the two. Since beauty is a subjective   experience, it is often said that "beauty lies in the eye of the   beholder". A subject of beauty is anything that resonates with   personal meaning. Of course, there are deferent definition of beauty as to how people perceive it, what may be beautiful to you may not to the other. Therefore, people ought to respect others choices.

It is also interesting how one's skin, nails and hair are not just merely external measures of beauty but also considered to be direct reflections of one's overall health. As much as it could be very deceiving, many people are easily captivated by such features. This is to say, one’s beauty can be highly influenced by one’s lifestyle. The strength of one's metabolism and digestion, the quality of one's diet, and the purity of one's blood all contributes to their beauty. On the other hand, people attribute positive characteristics such as intelligence, honesty, humility, hardworking, generosity, among others to beauty.

Similarly, beauty sometimes influence and reflect on our lifestyle. Most parts of the world still holds on strongly to their cultures and lifestyle choices for the beauty they see in these cultures and lifestyle choices. Life in a country can be simply enjoyable with its spectacular landscapes and friendly native people. The daytime activities and sheer beauty of the place sets a high standard for the level of enjoyment. Oh, let us not forget the unique festivals and events. Just the beauty of some of these festivals can make one want to stay at a place or visit every year.

Indeed! There is beauty in diversity. It takes a person to bring out the beauty in him or her. Beauty is a gift while lifestyle is a choice, yet they influence each other. Let’s stay beautiful in our choices.

A PERSONAL VIEW ON: “In The Lonely, Good Company of Books” by Richard Rodriguez

                           The piece of literature brings out efforts and struggles in reading tough or difficult books. From Rodriguez’s experience which tells us that reading difficult books for a sense of self-achievement is not a good way to read. On his part, Rodriguez just reads for a sense of accomplishment as it brings him confidence after helping him to conquer the awkward silence during reading time. The idea that “books will make [him] ‘educated’” helps him “to overcome [his] fear of silence” while reading. He never knew what kinds of books were most interesting to him. He blindly followed the book list without even realizing what he needed. What Rodriguez was enthusiastic about was never the content of the book but the ability to claim that he had finished it. He mocks the experience by ironically describing his feeling after reading with “in a ceremony of great pride”. The writer drew our attention to the fact that, when reading, we must read for knowledge and understand

Unravelling the Legal Maze: A Startling Journey into the Laws Governing the Ghana Flag and the Coat of Arms

  -By Hubert Tieku The saying which goes like, “we live to learn” , immediately made sense to when I had the shock of the year, 2024. And I believe almost all my friends who range from law students to lawyers and almost all lay persons will be equally shocked when they learn about some of the laws to which my eyes were just opened. I am saying this because I see them flout these laws “unknowingly” on a daily basis. One faithful morning, I was introduced to my senior and in the course of the introduction he passed a comment which led to the writing of this article. That morning I had a badge of the coat of arms on the collar of my suit jacket. Upon seeing the coat of arms he asked me why I was wearing it and I replied “I am wearing it to demonstrate my patriotism” . He said, “kindly go and read the laws on Ghana’s flag and emblem and come and tell me if you are actually allowed to wear the coat of arms on your suit.” At that moment I said to my self, “of course I am allowed to wear it b
