Beauty In the Eye of the Beholder
Beauty In The Eye Of The Beholder
Just finished a most fantastic episode of The Twilight Zone…
The fictitious story is rather captivating, out of this world…
Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder , what an intriguing title..
Makes me hanker for more of such creative stories and titles…
The opening scene captures the anguish of a troubled patient…
Heavily bandaged in the face and head, apprehensive and afraid…
The pleading questions from the patient to the nurse in attendance…
Seeking assurances after the latest operation for the umpteenth time..
The spectre of another medical failure weighed heavily on the patient…
The measured tones of the attending doctor reminding the patient….
Of his vast experiences and the possibility of less than desired results…
Served only to dramatize the import of the success when the bandages come off…
Dire was the consequence if the unravelling of these bandages should reveal…
The latest medical procedure is yet another failure, banishment will be the ordeal..
There is no hope for further constructive operations to remedy her situation…
This patient should face stark reality and accept banishment as the best solution…
Makes me wonder how this marvellous episode of The Twilight Zone…
Though a rerun, it captures the soul and the essence of the dilemma faced alone…
When an individual is born different and suffers our unfair and prejudicial society…
For one walks alone , shunned by fellow humans when one is born different….
