  1. I think you have me mixed up with a different person in this thread, FunkyTown. I am the original OP. Some other guy was talking about his ears.
  2. Thank you all for sharing some of your thoughts. Its really helped me to consider some things. In regards to if we will look the same in the next life, scripture evidence seems to point in a direction that to some degree we will. Consider Doctrine and Covenants section 137 when the Prophet Joseph Smith recognizes his brother Alvin in the Celestial Kingdom. Or section 138 where the Prophet Joseph F Smith sees the Spirit World and recognizes such individuals as Adam and Eve, Abel, Seth, Noah, Isaiah, Elijah, Moses, Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor, and Joseph F Smith's father - Hyrum Smith. He would have recognized his father most definitely. They retained their previous look as spirits. I believe we will look more beautiful when we are glorified with perfected bodies. Even though, perhaps some will look more physical beautiful than others. I wish I understood why this is...maybe we won't care then. Its just so hard to comprehend since looks plays such a huge part now in this life. As the person who mentioned above my post said, God knows and sees beauty. This earth is quite beautiful the way it is. The next life even more so. One thing for sure though is - going through this life with looks that aren't always beautiful is not easy. People are teased and miss opportunities that beautiful people have. I know the atonement makes up for injustice. I wish I just understood how.
  3. That makes sense but its also hard to understand right now. I just struggle in understanding why some were blessed with beauty...they get the best of both worlds. It just seems so unfair. For example, am I always to be short? Why can't I be taller? Why are some blessed with the ideal both in this life and the next?
  4. I have a question and I was wondering if others could help. This world seems to place so much importance of the physical appearance and beauty. Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair for those who are blessed with being physically beautiful. I know life isn't fair but its hard not to think about sometimes. We talk about the resurrection in how we will have perfect bodies. Does that mean that I will be physically attractive at that time? I know the atonement makes up for all injustices eventually. Will we not care about appearances anymore? I remember the scripture that Heavenly Father looks upon the heart rather than just the outward appearance like man does. But it would be so nice to be beautiful or handsome both outside and inside for the eternities. It just seems like for those who are beautiful now, they will have the best of both worlds. Yes, beauty fades over time...but when we are resurrected we will look like we did when we are young...for eternity. Problem is, what if you don't look pretty when you are young either?
