At the extremes of moral situations, such as the liberation of civilian death camps in wartime, or ones in which morality has little moment, such as the selection of lavender or mauve for the molding above a fireplace, a choice between whether to prefer the gorgeous or the right is unimportant. However, less quotidian, more matters, such as the selection of a mate (or a date) demands addressing both -- good potential parent or hot, hot loins? Also, metaphysical consideration of the broadest situation, our essential standing in the universe, involves worrying whether, say, the world we know is essentially evil and unassailable by our indignance and, therefore, only useful as an object of our manipulations as artists, comics, wits. How do you look at this and do looks matter more than hearts and smarts?

Re: Re: Beauty versus Morality
It seems like people value looks over hearts and smarts. At least that is the images we see every day on television, the internet, and in magazines. All the brilliant people in the world do not get as much press as the beautiful people. The brilliant people are making changes that positively impact the world while the beautiful people are just shopping and carrying their puppies. In this world people seem to prefer their looks to what is morally right. Where is the world going? Do you have the answer?
