Avoid the Superficial

Outward appearances may be impressive, but they are not an indication of value. How surprised we would be to discover that those we envy may be envious of us! It has been said if everyone's life were put in a see-through container, and we had the freedom to choose, we would all choose our own life. Roses are prettier than cabbages and much more fragrant, but cabbages make far better soup. If all we want is color and fragrance, we should go for the roses. But then we must be ready to accept pretty, sweet-smelling starvation. The real values in life lie in substance and content, not in appearances.
