[Her “less fortunate” friend isn’t exactly a Cocker Spaniel]
I beg to differ, especially when pictured next to each other!
“Her ‘less fortunate’ friend isn’t exactly a Cocker Spaniel !!!”
Yes!
Having been in the ministry, I have actively striven not only to minimize visual temptation, but also to appreciate in a positive way the many variations of natural beauty in women.
I have largely succeeded: Some (admittedly not all) of the women whom I have found physically attractive were generally regarded as not being so.
I am not denigrating physical attraction as a legitimate component of love; I am suggesting it can be developed into a more wholesome and holistic aspect of a relationship.
I had a brilliant mathematics teacher (who had worked on the Manhattan Project in his younger days) at a private high school who often spoke of his “beautiful” wife. There was no pretense: He adored her; his face transformed when he spoke of her. When I finally saw her myself, I was rather shocked by how physically unappealing she seemed. She was regarded by my fellow male students as very homely, if not rather ugly.
I was sixteen. That was one of my first great lessons on the nature of love versus lust.
