Physical beauty is a mental value: You cannot truly fall for a person who feels differently about beauty

It is a myth that true love doesn’t have anything to do with good looks. It does, and a lot. However, it is more a mental thing than a physical thing. A person who values beauty, but who has lost their beauty… let’s say, in a fire, is still mentally aligned with a person who values physical beauty. They both mourn the lost beauty the same way, and they both see it as an issue the same way, which is something that true lovers can live with. However, a person who DOESN’T see the value of physical beauty, cannot truly be aligned with someone who does. It simply doesn’t work.

Beauty comes from within, and this doesn’t mean kindness or other character traits – not in this context. Physical beauty is a value, that lovers must feel the same way about; either not care about it or care about it, as long as their view of the matter is much the same. They must value the same nuances of beauty; do they value the effort put to hair and makeup, do they value beauty acquired from a gym or natural beauty that seems as effortless as possible? Perhaps they value hedonistic beauty; the physical expression of a person who enjoys life’s indulgements, from good food to good sex, and who knows what else?

Whichever way you feel about beauty, try not to push your ideas on other people… This means you, too, gym buffs. 😉 Life’s too short to worry about making it last longer. 😉
