Beauty that is God given comes along with character but that comes out of addiction for recognition (for beauty) is a curse as Barry has told. Beauty along with character has been a blessing to many and especially is very good. But beauty with purpose (as told by Beauty Pageant Ms. Aishwariya Rai) is killing and exploiting.
Beauty with character is long lasting and long standing.
Beauty with purpose is filled with peace from within because you know that it is a gift from God and nothing is yours.
