1. It's what's inside that counts. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
2. Don't forget, Sport, that there are a whole lot more of us ugly people than there are of you "beautiful" people. You snobbish putz.
3. Our outlook on life would improve, we feel better, know that God is there for us, has provided for us in the past and will provide for us again. To keep a healthy perspective of ourselves, we only have to remember that God made us all and if he had wanted us all to be beautiful he would have made us all that way.
4. If we truly saw what God has given us we wouldn't be the selfish people we are, and would feel blessed every day to have life. If we think of ourselves as creatures made by God, I think that is a healthly perspective. People idolize the wrong things and it truly does lead to a path of destruction.
5. Here is some inspiritation for your homework. 3. Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the (Father's) kingdom is within you and it is outside you 24. His disciples said, "Show us the place where you are, for we must seek it." He said to them, "Anyone here with two ears had better listen! There is light within a person of light, and it shines on the whole world. If it does not shine, it is dark." 33. Jesus said, "What you will hear in your ear, in the other ear proclaim from your rooftops. After all, no one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, nor does one put it in a hidden place. Rather, one puts it on a lampstand so that all who come and go will see its light." 61. Jesus said, "Two will recline on a couch; one will die, one will live." Salome said, "Who are you mister? You have climbed onto my couch and eaten from my table as if you are from someone." Jesus said to her, "I am the one who comes from what is whole. I was granted from the things of my Father." "I am your disciple." "For this reason I say, if one is whole, one will be filled with light, but if one is divided, one will be filled with darkness." 77. Jesus said, "I am the light that is over all things. I am all: from me all came forth, and to me all attained. Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there 83. Jesus said, "Images are visible to people, but the light within them is hidden in the image of the Father's light. He will be disclosed, but his image is hidden by his light." 84. Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you are happy. But when you see your images that came into being before you and that neither die nor become visible, how much you will have to bear!"
6. I've always hated when people get on this message board and as questions as a way to do their homework. Fact: you learn more if you do it yourself without someone just giving you the answer.
7. I can't help you with the first question but beauty is definitely subjective. What one finds attractive or beautiful, another may find downright ugly. Real beauty is in character not facial features.
