In our strides toward attaining and maintaining body shapes we fast even when there is enough food. We exercise even when there is no time or strength. We visit the gym even when there is no money and we take drugs even when there are side effects. We determine to dedicate our time and efforts to achieve the outer beauty. Which book have we not read just to maintain the body shape?
But what about the inner beauty? Can we replicate our efforts to maintain the inner beauty- the character, love, patience, faith, humility and honesty? How many books have we read for the sake of the inside? When have we stayed without food and how many times have we maintained the path of the truth?
Our true selves are the inside. Let our beauty be that of the inside, so that out of the abundant of the inside the outside shines, and this world would be a better place.
