Ugly?

Pick controversial issues and give opinions.
“UGLY” [Constance Briscoe]


“The black woman beautiful is as far away from white woman beautiful as the beauty of night is from the beauty of day. Beauty in this essence comes in differing forms but it still seems as if we have one ideal.”
Is being ugly, a sin? Why do people despise people who are ugly? Why do people not look at the inner beauty, but the outer beauty? Uncivilized people tend to keep away from “ugly” people as they think that it is a shame to be with them. People always say “Having inner beauty is the real beauty”, but do they really mean it?
In my opinion, inner beauty is more important than outer beauty. I do not dare deny that majority of the people prefer people with a greater appearance, and attractive people get a job easily. For example, we know good-looking guys usually get higher scores on job interviews, but this does not mean that they can neglect and abhor others.
Outer beauty is not so important to make a person good. We should not judge a book by its cover, to see if the person is courteous and well-mannered. In our society, beauty also gives us many advantages such as having a good social life, making friends, getting a job, and getting a promotion. Whenever, we look at good-looking guys and girls, we usually form stereotypes. We think he or she is a good and kind person. This is why cosmetic surgery is so popular in our society.
So, what is real beauty? I want to say that inner beauty is the real one because if someone has beauty in his soul, he looks like a really beautiful person. The beauty looked at with eyes doesn't last forever. Instead of concentrating on outer beauty, we should concentrate on inner beauty. The point is that inner beauty is more important than outside beauty. So, if we make the effort to make our minds beautiful, we'll be happier.
