There's a news item on "NewsWeek.com" about a 40% increase in women trying to reclaim their bodies (breasts) post pregnancy with reconstructive breast implants.

This is very sad news for me. Most women and girls, and many men now, are not having plastic surgery for "reconstructive" purposes, they are having it because of a serious lack of love and respect for their own bodies. Our pop culture feeds people a fake standard of beauty and we buy into it. How is that we have come to such an imbalance obsessing with our physical selves and forgetting about our inner selves? Remember the only thing that is real and that is going to last forever is the essence of who we are in this life time.
