THE REAL BEAUTY OF A PERSON

Genuine friendship must be built on respect and sincere acceptance of each other’s incapacity and

weaknesses.  Sometimes we expect too much of the people around us and because no one can ever

live up to our expectations, we are almost always disappointed. Nobody is perfect and we all make

mistakes to the point of sometimes, we inadvertently hurt others.  What is more important in the end

is that we find the willingness to accept our faults and our sincerity in making up for all the pain we

caused others.

It is much better for our friends and for us if we drop the expectations and illusions and accept them

all just the way they are.  Wouldn’t it be better if we just let go and let people be who they are?  For

it is only then that we would be able to see them as they are----with all their beauty and goodness in

which we take joy and with all their faults which we can also see in ourselves.

It is not what we see on the outside that counts. The real value of a person is not measured by how

much he has but by the good that dwells in him and the real beauty of the person is the one that only

our heart can see. The most important thing to remember is always appreciate the friends that you

have because whether we realize it or not, everyone we know is very special to us.
