What is "ugly"?

“Oh, she’s beautiful.”
“Eww, he’s ugly!”

You’ve heard people say that before, you’ve most likely said that before, too.
Thanks to the wonderful society, we’ve grown to think that beauty or ugliness is someone’s appearance.
But, let me tell you, it is not true.
What makes a person beautiful or ugly is not how they look on the outside.
It is not their hair, skin, teeth, eyes, weight, etc. that makes a person ugly or beautiful.
How a person looks on the outside is just how a person looks on the outside.
When God created man, He created him in His image.
This means, all humans, male and female, were created equal in beauty.  Whether or not you find someone beautiful is simply opinion. If you’re attracted to someone, well of course you’re going to find them to be beautiful. But just because you are not attracted to someone, it does not make them ugly.

So what does make a person ugly?
Their personality. If they have a terribly rotten personality, and treat people with disrespect and is rude and just plain mean, THAT is what makes someone ugly.
Have you heard parents tell their child, when he’s done something bad, “That was ugly!” or “You’re being ugly!”? They’re not telling their child that they now look ugly for what they did, they’re telling him that what he did was not nice, and it was rude or hateful. 

“You are not ugly, but if you act ugly, you will become ugly.”

So if being rude, disrespectful and hateful makes an ugly person, then what makes a beautiful person?
Everyone was born beautiful or handsome, whether or not someone else finds them attractive.
But if you act ugly, you will become ugly, because your heart will be ugly.
To be beautiful is to act beautiful; honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring. Not doing ugly things makes you beautiful – sounds simple, doesn’t it?

If you crave to be beautiful, you do not have to change your outward appearance. You have to change your heart.
