can't beat the first answer, that was deep, and beautiful. To directly answer your question, it is a virtue and a vice. Billions of $$$ spent on the 'beautifying" market shows that. When we choose a love what comes first, the beauty on the outside or the inside? Beauty is healing to the soul when it is a virtue, and pleasing to the flesh when it is a vice.

That is all up to the individual. For some it is a virtue, for others it's a vice. There are haters no matter what.
