People are not robots.

People are not perfect.

Bodies are made of flesh.

Flesh is no perfection, but just good enough

It is not steel or marble, cast and carved into shape, but grown through experience and infection and bruising and hard work and every experience you ever had.

You will never look like the photographs you see of the beautiful people because the beautiful people themselves do not look like that.

Accept that you are who you are, imperfections and all.

If you do not, who will?

Flesh heals and stone and steel do not, which is definitely a major plus for flesh, as is the fact that flesh can also feel. I could really get behind the idea of a seriously tinkered with and improved flesh body, with a few discreet and carefully made electronic add ons (a digital memory-backup comes to mind). Then again, I'm a weird transhumanist who thinks of human bodies as barely adequate residences that last far too short a time and lack many features that I want.

Seconded!
