Relationship between Cosmetics and the Universe...?
Just notice this amazing thing :
...That the words cosmetics & cosmos (=the Universe)..both share a common Greek-root viz., κόσμος ("cosmos" spelled in Greek), which means "order-ly place".
The ancient Greeks believed that our Universe, or the "cosmos" as they called it, was a very order-ly, well-planned system with all the celestial bodies arranged in a great harmony. The term "cosmos" thus carried the connotation that was the exact opposite of "chaos", a state of sheer dis-order.
Well...now, it's easy to see what people...especially women...try to attain via their slew of cosmetic-products...!! :P . . .An attempt to mask the underlying chaos...with a layer of cosmos...!!?!? ;)) [No offence meant please..!! :) ]
Today all of a sudden, I got reminded of this observation twice...once in the office & once now...at home...& hence, I decided to share it before I go.
Hope you enjoyed it pa..? :)
Hmmmm...Take care...n Please Smile; and Keep Smiling...
Love & Best Wishes oLL-ways,
The chaos & cosmos in rags,
Planet Earth

Women cover-off the chaos on their face as an attempt to bring peace to ever chaotic place!

ReplyDeleteWomen better cover off their chaos...so that peace reigns..! Else, there would only be pieces flying around..! :P
