“Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.”
Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)
As people say: Beauty is skin deep, which illustrates the importance and essential aspect of inner beauty. Inner beauty can be related to what one thinks and acts. You are what you think, not how you look. Our true reality in this objective world is what we think and do, what we practically manifest in actions, as actions speak louder than words - not when we can talk and explain about what type of breakfast our president is having every day. Our real personality lies in our actions and reactions, desires and visions, and hopes and aims in life. They tell who we are, and measure our individuality in terms of time, past, present and future. Our beauty is who we are, which is the summation of what we look, act, and think like.
Many people relate beauty in terms of outward appearance rather than inner one. Why? In a very fact, no one hates outward good-looking appearance, for it is something pleasing to our eyes. What we see affects what we think. As stated in the Holy Bible: The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light, our reality is affected by the things we see, which has a mysterious and immediate connection with our mind. What we think has an influence on what we feel, dream and do. A pretty woman has an influence over any one who claims himself as a man. The nature of her has an elixir that delivers the fragrance of invisible energy to the bones and nerves of a man; and by this effect, it is natural that any man shall react. Physical beauty has a dramatic influence over all, and it is such a phenomena. Nevertheless, by itself, it is not complete and enough: it needs other supporting ingredients for its wholeness.
What is required in addition to such beauty is thinking and acting. Physical beauty should be supported by magnificent thoughts and wonderful actions, which help the physical beauty to be complete, full and meaningful. Our thoughts and actions are the very essential and crucial aspects of our life, which do have an influence over our physical nature. The crux lies on the revealed personalities, which can be known through interactions and communication with the environment. What people know about people is what is communicated; which is limited to the outwardly manifested actions and reactions, depending on the degree of relationship they have, making the inner beauty to be hardly known at distant. The very nature of physical beauty does not need interaction and communication; people are always attracted at distant without getting closer to it, which happens to be a kind of standard to measure the integrity of people in many societies.
Physical beauty does not tell the integrity of any individual, but rather it in most cases confuses people. It is probably an experience of many people that our impressions towards people fade through time, as we govern many hidden behaviors, thinking and actions of the individuals whom we are attracted through the physical beauty they cherished. This does not mean that physical beauty is an obstacle to the inner beauty that one needs to acquire, but it is mainly dependent up on the management of the beholder, who makes choices and decisions for one self.
Beauty is harmony; it is a proper and equivalent combination of elements. One single thing can be beautiful, but when it is harmonized with another good thing, it will be more beautiful. It manifests itself in the world of human beings in the melody that is created out of the interaction of the integrated needs of life, which crystallizes itself to physical, intellectual and spiritual progress, which is created by the combination of such needs balancing the three natural desires and wants of the individual, that may put the person in a shape, content, form outwardly manifesting itself so appearing and pleasing to others. It is a symphony created out of the pleasing combinations of the harmonious movement of physical, intellectual and spiritual natures, whose maturity directs any person to a higher and resplendent station. The physical beauty supported by intellectual and spiritual maturity crowns every one with a beauty so magnificent, sacred, and noble.
Beauty has no outward form or structure, but it manifests itself more attractive as a result of proper combinations of more than one elements. These combinations come about as a consequence in a way so pleasing to eyes, and joy to the souls. A garden of flowers is beautiful, it is not only because of the colorful combination of the flowers, but also with the spirit of the gardener who works with love and devotion, the type of the soil, the water, the climate and other undiscovered elements, which contribute for the flowers to be the source of inspiration and attraction.
Integrity is beauty, but beauty in its multi-dimensional sense can be integrity. As we all seek beauty, we can find it every where as far as we have opened our eyes wide open, where one can enjoy it on what is endowed within self, and obtain it from what is cherished outside self. Although people say: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there is always essentially and naturally endowed beauty within every creature on earth. But, the thin lines always veil the essential understanding and perception that one needs to enjoy for our life in many cases are full of vague perceptions and conceptions. In whatever definition and mentality we perceive, beauty is not only something we feel, but also it is something we adore. The more it is resulted with the combination of more than one element, the better it is enjoyable and pleasing, and the more it becomes so delightful.
