Dear Georgia,

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry dice en una parte de su obra "El principito":

..Y él volvió hacia el zorro :- Adiós, dijo….- Adiós dijo el zorro. He aquí mi secreto. Es muy simple: No se ve bien más que con el corazón. "Lo esencial es invisible a los ojos" "Lo esencial es invisible a los ojos," repitió el príncipe para acordarse. Es el tiempo perdido por tu rosa el que la hace tan importante. Los hombres han olvidado esta verdad, dijo el zorro, pero tú no debes olvidarla. Tú eres para siempre el responsable de lo que has domesticado. Tu eres responsable de tu rosa….- Yo soy el responsable de mi rosa … repitió el principito para acordarse..

This is just an excerpt of a really touching story of a prince who learns to love from the inside out. I have yet to find a story in English that speaks to me like this one does. Sure you have Disney stories like Beauty and the Beast, where he was turned into a beast for being shallow, but seriously what was his punishment? What lesson did he learn? Wait around and a nice gorgeous girl will show up and fall in love with you. THE END.
No, it just doesn't happen like that. We should approach life as the fox says to do in the story, "What is essential is invisible to the eye.."  but instead we have boys and girls basing friendships, relationships and lifestyles around outer appearances.
We revolve our lives around the first impression. Which is the exact mentality that encourages people to be superficial and judgemental. We allow ourselves to lose sight of our priorities due to exterior. We allow ourselves to think we are never good enough for others, therefore nobody is ever good enough for us.
I suffer from this because I am human. But the prince in this passage is human, too. He was only lucky enough to have the fox teach him to love within rather than without. Imagine if we weren't taught by society that size 12 is fat. Braces are required for a pretty smile. Brown eyes are plain. Blonde hair is gorgeous. Instead we were taught "What is essential is invisible to the eye.."
We weren't put on this earth to judge. That's not our job.
 
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
Proverbs 31:30
