What Is Inner Beauty?

69

By greenjr198

Inner beauty is the most important feature in our human being. All of our actions in a day draw from that inner beauty or soul, if you wish. Have you ever wondered what makes you act the way you do or who you are, inside? Are we are just a collection of cells that happened to come together by chance or is there some grand design someone we can’t see or touch that brought us all together? Inner beauty shows itself in many ways perhaps by helping an elderly neighbor with their yard work or volunteering your time to your community.

Love is an expression of inner beauty. Does one give love on a daily basis? Does one feel Loved on a daily basis? Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life and the lives of others. This can only come from a place of inner beauty. Do you feel compassion toward another human being when you see them in pain or suffering? Compassion comes from inner beauty, at times you can feel it tug at your heart, sometimes you can ignore it but deep down it’s always there.

What about outer beauty? Can outer beauty, say a beautiful waterfall, a majestic mountain or the brilliant stars in heaven, be enjoyed without inner beauty? I think not. A person can be attracted by outward beauty only to find on closer examination that it is ugly on the inside. A beautiful looking person can be filled with hatred or with love. But how do we know unless we look on the inside? We often judge people when we first meet them by the way they look. It has always been said; you cannot judge a book by its cover. So look inside when you first meet people and look for that inner beauty, in the long run it is far more important than outward beauty.

What can physical things in life do for the soul? The answer is “nothing”. You need to fill the soul otherwise it starves. Is your inner soul starving? You can satisfy the hunger with acts of kindness and love, there is plenty in this world to fill the soul. Use it every day and I believe you will be full in no time. After 9/11 I felt love and compassion for all of my fellow Americans, I remember sitting at a toll booth waiting for the person in front of me, fumbling to find the correct change. Any other time I would have been a bit angry at the wait but this time I would have waited all day without anger. I believe it was because we were all one during that time, one country, one people. Why can't it be like that every day as we work, play and live?

I don't have all the answers nor do I proclaim to be fault free but I do know the feelings of my own heart. I am sure that each one of us has thought some of these very things at some point in our lives. I don't want to be on my death bed saying, “I did it all wrong”; there are no do overs. Your inner beauty can flourish and grow, no one can quell it and no one can take it away.

I don't know about you but I am going to look for the inner beauty in all that I meet.

Thank you so much for sharing this great page about inner beauty. After watching Beastly, I was interested to google it up for inner beauty. It tells me that not only we should judge people from the outter beauty, however, we should definitely get to know them to find out their inner beauty. It's hard to believe but we all judge them right away from their outter beauty without appreciating their inner beauty. Eventually, someone who loves you WILL find the inner beauty of their partner and will reveal the real him/her. Beastly is such an inspirational movie, since it tells us that "Love is never ugly". Just because someone was once a handsome, beautiful person yet their personality isn't so great (wealthy, spoilt, annoying, etc) once being cursed into an ugly beast, the girl finally realized the real him. How his inner beauty is so beautiful, he finally realize the real him himself. How I wish the curse could really come true to people who think outter beauty is so much more important than inner beauty. When they are cursed, they can then realize that the real "them" is not who they are supposed to be. Then they can make a difference in other people's life.
