Here’s a simple truth when applied changes your outlook on people. It’s character displayed over a period of time that makes and keeps a person’s attractiveness. Here’s the situation, a not very pretty (physically) person always treats you with respect. This person is kind and encouraging to you. Over time their character becomes beautiful to you to the point of their physical appearance is no longer non-attractive. On their other side of the coin you have this beautiful, physically appealing person come to you. Without saying a word you think “wow”. Then they open their mouth, spitting out negative, non-edifying words. They are not a team player and show you no regard in the respect category. You will not like them much, and over time their physical features become less and less attractive to you, to the point of being downright ugly. Physical attractiveness and beauty are two different things. Beauty is found in the character of a person not in their physical features.
22 Loyalty makes a person attractive. It is better to be poor than dishonest.
Proverbs 19:22
