The Awakening Day

Most of our youth we spend time, money and energy on everything that relates to our own appearance: make-up, hairstyle, bodybuilding, clothes, diets. In essence this is not a bad thing. We want to look beautiful and attractive. But, I wonder… how many of us would still put make-up on every morning and wear that sexy, tight dress at events if we lived in a world without men?
