An appropriate thing to consider in this day of media-manufactured "beautiful
people," when no one is "real" to us unless they've appeared on TV, and
everyone who appears on TV --especially heads of state and social lions-- is
subject to extensive makeovers, wardrobe advice, voice coaches, acting
lessons, and the help of public relations firms.
The death of Princess Di got more airtime on TV and column inches in the
press than Mother Theresa for the simple reason that she was photogenic and
the old nun wasn't.
It's a "miracle" that aging, frail, sometimes drooly Pope John Paul II --who
STILL, or so I've heard, gets made up for the cameras) even gets his face in
the news nowadays ...
What's external to the person --physical appearance and "image"-- might be
the most superficial and least character-based of human attributes, but it's
certainly become the most marketable, just another "product" in a world
running on sales of "commodities."
The true spiritual worth of a person is something that can't be SEEN, but
even worse, because of that fact, it can't be SOLD! Conversely, what CAN be
seen --what might APPEAR to be "spiritual worth"-- IS "bought and sold" --
and should be questioned ...
So, without even considering the quirky possibility that a Messiah or the
Christ might in fact be "ugly," you're right about the fabled "beauty" of
Lucifer, Satan, the Antichrist, or whoever.-- if the Devil himself ever
wanted to deceive the whole world, all for the profit of EVIL, you can bet
that he'd beat "God" hands-down in today's arena of mass-media ...
