How to be beautiful
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

I think that we all can see that beautiful person when we look in the mirror. Our compassion is not just meant for others but also for ourselves.
