Part One: Family Life 2. What is a Good Partner? Initially, we usually can only observe someone's physical beauty, not the beauty of their mind. So let's look at four levels of beauty. a. Beauty of Appearance: Dress, makeup, hair style. All are external and will go out of season or fashion. This is the type of beauty that can be purchased. b. Beauty of Body: Face, figure, skin, finger, feet. This is individual beauty that cannot be purchased and will not last. It is not a true indication of whether or not the person is good or bad. c. Beauty of Manners: Appropriate speech and action toward other people. This includes being courteous, modest, respectful, polite and cheerful. If these manners are not from the heart, however, they would be consid ered insincere. There are many proverbs about this type of beauty: "Sweet words are more devastating", "Sweet beginning, bitter ending" and "Sweet mouth, sour bottom". d.

Our daily activities, our job responsibilities, and our financial responsibilities for clothing, food, shelter and health care are all indicators of the beauty of the mind.
