Righteousness is Beautiful (Day 126)

5/6/2019

Beauty can’t solely be based on winning the genetic lottery, right? Maybe. I suppose we have to share the same definition of beauty, AND agree to the same grading rubric that determines beauty.

That’s very unlikely.

Colors of eyes, shapes of noses, tones of complexion… in the eye of the beholder, we’ll always disagree on what makes something PHYSICALLY beautiful.

What can we do to be beautiful WITHIN OUR CONTROL?

What about moving through the world as an agent compassion? Or kindness? Or support? What if our DEEDS were what was being measured in “beauty” points?

If taking the hand of someone in need isn’t beautiful… then what is???
