but, what if it wasn't...

My thought started harmlessly. I was thinking about how obviously, neither money or physical charm mattered at all to me, and it always mattered to me, like I would show women how wrong they had been by valuing such things, but instead I find myself in degrees the lowest possible degree of happiness, and I was willing to.accept that I may have been wrong and that the absence of those things was foolish and vainity of a different kind. Then the real kicker crossed my mind. Ok, imagine the most repulsive destitute man possible. Could I fall in love if this man was everything else I adored? Well, yes. But, he would be attractive and rich to me. No sooner had I thought this than I recalled one of my favorite stories about a man who was telling his family how wonderful the gospel of Jesus Christ as taught in the LDS churches was, and even if it wasn't true, It would be so wonderful, but it was true. That is how I feel about love being true, sure of all of the many features, money and attraction are probably the most temporary, but they are part of the whole, so however you recognize what you want/need no thought truly matters.
