Our Image Obsession
Our culture is obsessed with external appearances. People who feel they are not attractive think they cannot compete for affection, and are apt to think that appearance is all they have to offer. Either way, they lose. We need to think of our importance as a human being. It is not what we look like, but who and what we are. These are the issues that belong to the realm of spirituality. Recovery from addiction requires attention to spiritual growth. Spirituality refers to the full development of our human capacities. These capacities include almost everything other than external appearance.
