"You try to put your best out there. You recognize what is nice and good. What is beautiful."

What I am saying is that if we become too focused on what is "nice and good" outwardly then we run the risk of becoming blind to what God thinks is beautiful.

We are, by nature, idolatrous.

Yes, and if we eat too much we'll get fat and gluttonous. That's no reason to eschew food and it's no reason to eschew beauty.
