Inner worldly beauty is being thin and

Inner beauty and outer beauty is a topic that can be very controversial. Outer beauty is constantly changing, whereas inner beauty has always been the same. You can always change your inner beauty if you have the honest desire to do so, but outer beauty is much harder to change. Also inner and outer beauty can work together to make up an individual’s overall attractiveness. Everyone sees outer beauty differently, but inner beauty remains the same in most people’s perspective.

Outer beauty is always changing. Being pale and slightly heavy used to be considered beautiful, or desirable, because it meant you were rich.You were pale because you could afford not to work outside in the hot sun and heavy because you had the money to buy food, whereas poor peasants were very skinny from lack of food and nutrition. Today, part of physical and worldly beauty is being thin and having color on your skin from being tan. Quite the opposite of how it used to be in the renaissance time period. Outer beauty has really evolved over time. Inner beauty, on the other hand, has always been basically the same.

Kindness, humility, generosity, empathy, patience, and other traits are what can make up an individual’s inner beauty.Over time these were considered sought-after qualities, and still are. Physical beauty is biological. For the most part you’re either born with it, or not. Technically a person can “enhance” their worldly beauty with makeup, surgery, dieting, etc.

, but for the most part it’s in their genetic makeup. Inner beauty, however, is something that can always be changed if there is a desire. By setting goals and striving to be a better person you can change who you are and how you interact with people. For example, if you’re a bitter, sour person and you decide to become a kinder, more pleasant person, you will become much more attractive to others.

Have you ever met a person who initially appears to be attractive and after getting to know them a bit you realize they aren’t that attractive at all? I once met a young man at a church dance who, in my opinion, had plenty of outer beauty. While we talked, he made obnoxious comments towards other kids that had attended the dance that night. All through our conversation he continued to be disrespectful and rude. When it was time to leave I took a second look back at him and remember thinking that I really didn’t find him attractive at all anymore. You will find most often, inner and outer beauty walk hand in hand.A heavy person who has worked really hard to lose weight and become healthier will appear on the outside to be more physically attractive. This happens not only because they are thinner (what the world perceives as being beautiful on the outside) but also because this person has newfound confidence, is happier and has more energy.

Overall they come across as being happier and more attractive. Considering these points, I personally think that without inner beauty, outer beauty is insignificant. I once heard a quote by Audrey Hepburn that said, “For attractive lips, speak words of kindness, for lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.

… ” And the quote continues to talk about all the acts of kindness and goodwill you can do to make yourself more beautiful to others on the inside.

I agree with this quote very much and feel that inner beauty is something that is becoming more and more difficult to find in people. I easily find myself getting caught up in what the world would have you think of beauty (that outer beauty is the most important thing), but when I read this quote it helps me to remember the kind of person and inner beauty I want to have.
