From the Editor

We all yearn for beauty, Living pureness like a lily.

It lends sweet joy, oh so beautiful!

Yet what it is few of us know.

Poets chants for beauty in rhyme, Like a nightingale hums in mid-night.

They enthrone youth and put it in a cage, ‘Cause beauty is declined since middle ages.

♥ Your Child in Monash is Overview monthly for the published mums, dads and grandparents of the Monash and surrounding areas. ♥ 5000 copies monthly are distributed in the Monash and surrounding areas.

With kids I see not only beauty in yonder But also beauty and grace in myself, as a mother.

When kids grow up I grow old.

Beauty passes and love stays bold.

Rachel and Kirill

Reptile Encounters Opens its Doors in Burwood!

Reptile Encounters is Melbourne's premier mobile zoo. And we’ve got some big news…

We’ve just opened a brand spanking new HQ in Burwood!

Just in case you haven’t heard of us, we’ve been delivering fun-filled, inspirational and highly educational wildlife programs to schools across Victoria for over a decade now. We also throw legendary kids birthday parties, and can even bring the fun to your house!

Coming with super-friendly and smart wildlife ambassadors, we’re proud to boast a Saltwater croc, a Woma python, a Port Jackson shark and many more in our starstudded cast!

We believe it is absolutely crucial to give people an up close experience with Australian wildlife, especially as society our today has become a little disconnected from nature. Our goal is to inspire our next generation of marine biologists and environmental scientists!

Climate change and pollution are without doubt two of the most dangerous, challenging and complex issues facing our country and our planet today. But if this generation is not connected to the natural world around them, how are they going to be motivated to fix it?

"In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught." Baba Dioum

编 者 随 笔

每每看到“北方有佳人，倾城与倾国”的字眼，总要无尽脑 补一下这人该美成什么样子，才配得起这样的字眼。可是后来听 到一些史学家的言论，说是以前人们一生接触的人不多，所以历 史上写的绝美的佳人，可能放到现在，也就是人们眼中“姿色尚 可”的人而已。而现在的人们因为互联网的发达，什么样的美人 没看过，如果不到刘亦菲王祖贤之类，人们就会左挑鼻子右挑 眼，说是这个眼睛不够大，这个鼻子太塌，这个太瘦，这个又太 丰满。 以前人们品头论足的影响已有记载，“东施效颦”就是人们 嘲笑一个长得没有西施美却想像西施一样受到关注的女孩子的残 酷记载；“丑女无盐”说的是一个长得不好看的女孩子要经过多 大的努力才能让人们看到她杰出的能力。儒家要“女子无才便是 德”，除了身世，大概也只有“美貌”能成为出挑的筹码。然而 女性终究不过是跟衣服一样可以随意抛弃的东西，就算沉鱼落雁 的“红颜”也多是“薄命”的结局，还要背负上“灭国”的罪 名。反正是，长得好看也不对，长得不好看更不对。现在美的风 向标影响力更大，因为影视娱乐选秀节目等美人辈出，以美貌出 名似乎比以前更触手可及。君不见杨超越因为长得美一些，不会 跳舞却在跳舞的节目拿了第三名，因为粉丝喜欢她梨花带雨的哭 相啊。 很少人会满意自己现有的长相，因为审美的标准一直在变， 而且审美的指标越来越不切实际。比如近来推崇西方的深眼睛高 鼻梁，可是东方人的骨相明明很少有这种特色。于是有些艺人开 始在自己脸上动刀补线，硬是把自己整成了另外一个人，堪称换 头，比如天使宝贝。偏偏这些人的星运好得不行，赚了钱找到金 主一有问题又可以马上修修补补，再加上修图师傅的高超技能， 还有修颜镜头的过滤功能，很多人看来“换头”这个事情是百利 无一害，想变成谁就变成谁。 在澳洲的留学生哪个不是家底殷实，我接触过不少整容的留 学生，小则割个双眼皮，大则每次回国都会动一动脸。变美了 吗？我只觉得不自然。而且在我看来，这些妙龄少女根本不需要 整，本身各有各的美。但是她们不自信，她们觉得自己没有杨幂 的眼睛，迪丽热巴的鼻子，倪妮的身材，许晴的童颜，所以只有 整整整才能越来越好。但整容了之后她们满意了么？没有。微信 上她们的照片，还要再加十级美容把窗棂都改弯了才敢发出来， 如果不是微信名，只看照片，根本不知道这些塑胶一样的人是 谁。 并且，这股“美直至完美”的风潮还不只影响了女性。现在 流行“娘”，韩国最甚，一个个男人比女人还要精美，护肤这些 自然少不了，头发颜色也要多姿多彩，身体比女人还纤弱，皮肤 更要吹弹可破。粉丝们辩驳说这些偶像比那些邋邋遢遢不修边幅 的男人好太多了。可是一定要这般极端吗？干干净净正常的男 人，跟淡妆素衣的女人一样，不是更折中一些吗？我仿佛对“中 庸”有了在美方面的新理解。

人们为何如此执着于变美呢？难道时间过了这 么久，美还是决定一个人命运的要素吗？虽然不是 唯一要素，可是美的人生活中还是轻松太多了。看 过美的人写道，在该收情书的年纪收到一堆情书， 该工作的时候非常容易就脱颖而出，生活上大家也 诸多照顾，爱情家庭都是一片锦绣。所以很多人还 想要美貌吧！ 只是我觉得，美绝的人世上少有，可是每个人 都能把自己整理得端庄干净。追求得过了并不会再 成倍地增长效益，而且还可能适得其反。一个人追 求任何东西，过度了都会堕入魔道。越陷越深不能 自拔，看看那些整容过度的人，或者一生除了更美 就不能体会到幸福的人，可不是悲哀吗？ 况且除了自我的美，人世间有一双识得美的眼 睛，会让心宽人更美。识得美，才知道世界上的美 有千千万万种，你只需做好自己，便是为了转瞬即 逝的世界增添一分光彩。
