Some of the most beautiful people I have ever seen are actually not 'conventionally beautiful'. The beauty in their heart shines out, transforming them and bringing life to what is otherwise just skin.
A saying often heard is that beauty is temporary, what's in your heart will last forever. People age, become wrinkled, scarred. Emotions and experiences change our features. A beautiful, kind nature shines through in every feature. However, even the most outwardly flawlessly beautiful person will appear ugly once you have had a taste of their inner nature, if that nature is bitter and mean.
Our faces and bodies are the wrapping paper, the real gift is what is within.
Outer beauty may turn heads at first, but is easily forgotten when the true nature is revealed. Inner beauty will be remembered and cherished.
