Tweeted this response to a tweet today:
Still, thirty-some-odd years later, hard to understand why people who would choose to go to BYU would choose to buy into the looks competition.
I'm not just talking about the women who get too caught up in making themselves look unnaturally Aryan or Greek or oriental or whatever, I'm talking about the men who seem to think commercial ideals are better standards of beauty than what their own hearts tell them.Perceived aesthetics is originally and ultimately completely personal. Letting other people tell you what's beautiful is a sure way to be unhappy.
(Whatever your gender.)
Yeah, I'm taking tweets too seriously, but I wish every Christian understood this:
No aesthetic other than perceived aesthetic is real.
Absolutes of aesthetic are all illusion.
No matter how trite it seems, no matter how much you think you have to doubt words of solace, Beauty is in your heart.
You are already beautiful to the people who matter to you.
No other standard of beauty counts in any real sense.
