This article was inspired by the sight of the most beautiful girl in America of 1933 on television. She is presently 78 years old, she looked so ugly that it was hard for me to believe that she was one time miss America.
With such sight, I came to a conclusion that true beauty is intrinsic rather than extrinsic. No matter how beautiful you are today physically, you will someday become so ugly.
And that is why I would rather spend money, energy, time, and resources building my inside than building my outside.
Paul of Tarsus said, “Physical exercise profits little...” Taking care of your body profits but a little. The main purpose of your body is to house the real you (which you cannot see) for the accomplishment of your purpose. Your body is not you just like your clothing is not you. The reason we need the body is for visibility.
I have seen so many ladies who are very beautiful physiologically but cannot speak good English. While I have seen some others who can speak good English but have nothing to offer intellectually. Or have you not seen heartbroken beautiful ladies?
If I am faced between marrying a girl who is physically beautiful but internally ugly and a girl who is physically ugly but internally beautiful. I will not think twice before choosing the later (But she will have both). Physical beauty fades but internal beauty lasts a life time. And this internal beauty I am talking about does not fall on people, it is not a gift. It is developed consciously by personal development.
So many people are beautiful, cute, and handsome outside but beasts inside- If you hear some of them talk, you will pray for the ground to open up and swallow you because they are either too shallow minded or they are talking virus.
People will always prefer to buy cloths than books- that’s exactly what we are talking about. The opportunity cost of that is success. Any time you put fun and material things ahead of intangible values that are delivered through knowledge; you have showed us that you value your outside more than your inside.
Guys be warned about marrying a lady solely because of her physique. Listen to the advice of Charles Spurgeon: “To marry a woman for her look is like eating a bird for its song, since you do not marry her to look at her face but to have her as companion and a help mate. Observe the formation of her mind as well as the features of her face.”
