Famine

When you first hear this word, the words that first come to mind is 'a third world country.' Famine is defined as 'any extreme and general scarcity.' When I consider the definition of this word I believe that one thing that all women suffer from in today's society is, love. There is an ...'extreme and general scarcity' of encouragement for one another. Often times we would rather find something negative to comment about the female next us vs. extending a compliment to them. We are now in a day and age where tabloids, sexualized videos, retouched photos, subliminal advertisements, and plenty of the 'next diet craze' set a bar of unrealistic standards of beauty for us. In order for us to become better and inspire the next generation we must first inspire ourselves and those that are around us. Love is vital for our survival because to exist without it our spirits will perish. The next time you are tempted to lash out an insult consider what if it will empower our diminish.
