Beauty is like potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy that still needs to be acted upon, while kinetic energy is the energy used from this accumulation of potential energy. Beauty that has not yet been realized is potential, and it is the connotation we have of ourselves that can be acted upon, whether negatively or positively. Let's aim for the latter solution. As we mentioned, two spectrums of the problem still exist, and there is still a harmful ideology of beauty. Many women have dangerously low self-esteem. Intervention, a television series on A&E, forces people who find themselves at a crossroads with their inner demons to confront their compulsive behavior before a major crisis occurs.
