The Initial Deception of Beauty

Interesting while going through quite a few twitter posts from an array of persons and personalities, every now and then you run across a face that gets your attention. So you click on the face of the profile created in curiosity of the person (in this case being a male, for me it's a female profile). It's a normal curiosity and of course either that person is becoming or less becoming. Of course the hair is all coiffed, make-up is on right and the skin tone is fair yet there is something behind the smile that causes you to question that individuals character.  Mind you, you can never get a clear understanding of the personality from the snapshot you're looking at so you're left to the imagination regarding whether that person fits a type of norm you best understand or if upon having an opportunity to hear that person speak or express themselves you derive at a different understanding about that person.
Things that make you go..."Hmmm?"

So humanly we are curious that if the person I'm seeing in the snapshot carries the type of morals, character and sensibility that one would assess, then that must be a person that you could communicate with. But the misnomer is that much can be derived by understanding how that person not just communicates in person but on a deeper understanding how that person communicates with others. So reading the posts (within twitter or any other social media arena) help to draft, construct and portray the thoughts that associate with the "pretty face" if you would and clarify how that faces connects with the brain and what the motives, heart-felt expression or motives of that person. The interesting part about making this observation is understanding the dynamics of actual communication and then that only gets deeper with the level of understanding, trust and communication. Communication has nothing to do with beauty but beauty has everything to do with how one is communicating visually. So goes the old adage "you can't judge a book by it's cover." But with some I beg to differ, a book with the same gloss may not always shine in the same light because there's always a blind spot which masks the perception that the book visually communicates. You simply have to display a different angle. Anyway, there are many things that you can say about this. You know the old adage..."the grass is not always greener on the other side." Same scenario.
true beauty is consistently internal and is often missed which supersedes external beauty by lightyears. One may not necessarily be blessed with the external beauty that's being portrayed but internally they are priceless and not superficial. External beauty can carry a level of superficiality that's deceptive and at the root sometimes turns out to be bitter, extremely bitter. 
You just have to have had enough points of observation, communication, interaction or lack thereof to understand that multiple levels of it. Don't get me wrong, just the same can be said of a person who's inner beauty radiates in such a way that it matches the external beauty with no deception about the beauty that you see on the outside. Beauty is a blessing but must be handled with humility like other things in life. It can make you or break you. Beauty can be misconstrued and mishandled. Beauty is vain, beauty can also be deceptive as we grow older and has a way of tampering with our self-esteem be you male or female. No matter where we are concerning external beauty and what society tries to define us as, we must understand that the beauty of kindness, consideration, truthfulness and not bias weighs heavily opposed to what we apply externally to make ourselves look like society wants us to believe is beautiful on the outside, the heart must exemplify who we really are in respect of each other and the God-given beauty we all were born with as people.
