I find loathesome the put-downs based on the appearance of human aging and general physical attractiveness. God created us as we are although we individually DO have considerable control over whether we maximize or minimize our attractiveness to others. But that’s all external. What’s on the inside is far more important.

Character is of highest value and one manifestation of virtue is modesty. If she had worn a high-neck dress in royal blue, jade green or crimson those jewels would have been stunning. Instead they merely call attention to the plunging neckline and thereabouts, cheapening both the person and the jewels.

Proverbs 31 describes the Virtuous Woman well.

This woman was attractive when she was younger: She is now wearing “the face she’s earned.”

My 87-year-old, wrinkled mother is beautiful. She, too, has the face she’s earned.
