Physical beauty and the charm last for a little period. Beauty that remains with you forever and give you a separate identity is the soul’s beauty. The beauty acquired through single minded devotion toiling for years, building an aura of excellence around them and emanating the exotic aroma sending the people into fits of ecstasy doesn’t age .Lata Mangeshkar who is considered as an ugly duckling made the people forget her ugliness with her melodious and lilting songs. Now tell me friends, where the beauty lies.[b][/b]

Hi. Wow, beautifully said. For me beauty lies in the goodness of ones heart. Beauty from the outside fades but ones good heart doesn't.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder??
I have no fixed definition of beauty as such is subject to change. I have always told my students that they should never judged a person by mere physical appearance because what might be beautiful to their eyes maybe ugly to me. Beauty is very subjective and i agree that beauty that lies in the soul is one that can last forever.
I am conscious of the way i look but i make sure that i don't only possess the beauty outside but inside as well. I don't want people to remember me as a woman with a face but a woman with a soul.

Beauty depends on the one who sees it. Some would see beauty only in its physical aspect, others it would be the innermost character of the subject and others , should be a combination.
To me, it should be a combination of both but more of the inner character. What would it profit a man if her wife is beautiful, yet she has the most evil character. Better to have an ordinary wife , but with angelic character.

I think inner beauty is more important than outside beauty, because the latter can fade through time, while the other stays, but in our world you can't even get a nice job if you don't look good, which is biased to those who really are talented and capable that are not good looking. but for those who have inside and outside beauty, well they're lucky.

I think that both types of beauty people already possess whether they know it or not. Everyone has beautiful physical features and interal beauty. Even if you don't like them personally, they have something that makes them charming. For instance, eventhough ugly step sisters in cinderella are mean, they have a oval and square shaped body that can be fixed to be beautiful and they can feel good about themselves by seeking their true beauty from within not from outward. The mind has the power to make beauty through the art of themselves, not the act of being jealous of the step sister.
