No it means the opposite, you can look good on the outside but be ugly in the inside or you can be ugly on the outside but be beautiful in the inside.
Quote:2 - If outer beauty is a parable then this is one shitty story.
I wouldn't know about that. We are attracted to beauty, God is Ultimate beauty, and we should want an intimate experience with ultimate beauty that is of a spiritual nature.
And ultimately, our spiritual desires are manifested in our material desires. We want richness, but true happiness and peace lies inside. True richness is inward, yet we seek it outwardly. We want beauty, but neglect the beauty of the soul. We are attracted to beauty, but ignore the ultimate beauty and higher exalted beauty. We see glory and honor in athletic but higher strength and higher skill lies spiritually.
It's a telling story, because, we seek what is lower then to what is higher form, in which the lower is a parable descent from of.
Quote:3 - what is this 'inside' you speak of?
The personhood/soul of the person.
