People need to realise? True beauty lies within. :)

heartbreaking, very well filmed. i dont treat anyone differently until they prove to be forgive my wording but assholes. everyone's the same to me. its heartbreaking that the ones in this world who are terrible people dont suffer like these folks do in my mind i think its unjust and they should trade.(if it were possible)

@SaphyrixKaiari yet I was also a model when I was in college...at any rate my husband who was brought up in a family who is wealthy and with 2 parents in the home, was never abused never had it perfect but had it good lacks compassion on most of the world as he can't relate to anyone elses dilema's in life!

[SaphyrixKaiari]

@lucy9359 That's understandable...but see theres a difference between you and Katie..you had known no other life and Katie did had she not been burnt with the acid she would have still lived on her life the way it was..happy and 'no ugly people'

[lucy9359]

@SaphyrixKaiari ok your right you have a really good point...I apologize to you for my lack of insight! For me I am very compassionate toward the down and out because I was once down and out so I know how they feel...I there fore do reach out to the homeless or the drug adicted etc...I never came from a good home like Katie so I guess I had to develope into a compassionate human being the hard way...

[SaphyrixKaiari]

@lucy9359 But shouldn't people have compassion anyways? Shouldn't it be instilled in us to already have it? Nothing has happened to me and I already have compassion for people who are like that who have been through pain like Katie...Don't you? Or would you have to have something terrible happen to you so would have some kind of compassion for people like you?

[lucy9359]

@SaphyrixKaiari read the rest of my comment I said every human being has to go through the pain before they have the compassion!

[SaphyrixKaiari]

@lucy9359 What makes you think I'm not feeding children in Africa? And I said that because it was true. Katie Piper admitted it herself on her program..My Beautiful face..she would have never associated herself with quote ' Ugly people' and those are her words not mine..

[lucy9359]

@SaphyrixKaiari what makes you so certian she didn't see it before? and if she didn't who made you the judge...every human being has to have an actualized experience before they can undertand the true pain of someone else...other wise I wonder how many children in Africa you fed today...make you homeless and I won't have to ask that question because you will be down there feeding them...no disrespect intended!

[SaphyrixKaiari]

What, I think is really sad is that Katie had to be burned with acid ,raped and tortured to be friends with people like her and and others with birth defects when she couldn't see it before she was burned. But still a very inspiring story ^^

I decided long ago fi I ever get burns to my face im just going to wear a badass greek/egyptian/halloween mask everywhere I go

@princessamina1 there is because assuming something short of complete idiocy, they will know instantly that your gesture is enitrely disingenuous and meant to only make YOURSELF feel better...

stop lying, just be yourself and don't tapdance to show how "highminded" you are. Its sickening and makes you come off as a huge hypocrite
