Dear Friends … The Untainted Spirit
When we love somebody in spite of who they are, rather than FOR who they are, we don’t really love them. But how do we love people for who they are, with all those little flaws and eccentricities, maybe, all those whopping aggravations? Context.
When we see people in the context of their story, their life, we realize that they did the best they could. We love them for their survival, their tenacity in the face of the odds. We love them for the hope they nurtured, that little grin they never lost. We love them for who they are. And they are not their situation, their bank account, their polish or poise. They are the spirit that endured. They are the untainted love that still shines.

Attractive starts here …
The media hosts an ongoing parade of beautiful people. They even offer commentary on the most beautiful eyes, lips and buttocks, helping us to embrace both a false sense of normal and a false sense of ideal.
There is no ideal. And there certainly is no ideal for everybody — 5’10” cannot be ideal for a woman who is 5’4″. I know this!
Still studies show that the vast majority of women are uncomfortable with their looks, particularly their bodies. And women are more apt to be trapped in their innate desire to please men (the creation story in Genesis nails this). Measuring up to the ideal they think men want weighs on them, the way being strong and powerful weighs on many men. But women are giving men a taste of how it feels to be gawked at, reveled in and critiqued.
Logically, the average man is less than 5 feet 10 inches tall. Do you really think he prefers a 5-foot 10-inch woman to make him feel big and strong? There is no ideal match, either.
But there is practical value in being attractive. Attractive people are generally perceived as more poised, interesting, sociable, independent, exciting, sexual, intelligent, well-adjusted and successful (as well as more vain and materialistic)!… More
