skin deep?

Have you heard that beauty is only skin deep? There is a superficial sense of truth to this statement. Beauty is a combination of internal and external factors. Your culture has distorted these senses because it is so obsessed with appearance. Yet even with this you know superficially attractive people you do not admire, and their counterparts you do admire after you get to know them. I want you to mature beyond the values of your culture that your eyes may be open to see the true essence of the people you meet for their true and enduring identity. As you become more like me you will see other people the way I see them.
