@grasping I agree that "outer beauty" , although it may be "in the eyes of the beholder" goes a long way ... the prettiest woman in the office, the most handsome man at the tennis club etc etc.... but we still had "movie stars" who were not considered "beautiful." I was shortest in my class and you can guess the rest of my life.... inherited my mother's nose which she reminded me of when discussing my birth... lol However, I dont personally refer to it as inner "beauty" but perhaps being content with who we are,.. sorry I cant explain properly how I feel about it... we ARE, in my humble opinion, judged by our looks, even by our clothing, our weight, our verbal communication etc etc. Human are a peculiar type of animal.. but majority of "animals" each look the same as their brethren, dont they? A sense of humour goes a long way and I am beginning to lose mine as I get older ...
