About this deal

Guess what: He chose to place His faithful and never-ending love upon you before He even laid the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:3-4)! This love is so strong that the Father was willing to give up His Son on the cross so that you could be brought into the family of God as an adopted child. This was not a cheap transaction! Sa‘di did not celebrate beauty for beauty’s sake, like some late 19th century decadent. Deeply rooted in the intellectual controversies of his times, Sa‘di mobilized the arguments and the concepts of philosophers like Avicenna and theologians like Ghazali to argue that the contemplation of beauty leads us to a more direct experience of God. That is why Sa‘di was called a “sheikh” in his lifetime, and why his Seljuk and Mongol patrons financed the creation of a Sufi lodge for him, in a period that saw Mawlana Rumi creating his own Sufi school. But Sa‘di’s legacy was not an enduring Sufi organization like the Rumi’s dancing Dervishes. Rather it was the Persian ghazal lyric, which he perfected and bequeathed, among others, to Hafez.

Diller herself was a professional ballet dancer, and then modeled while getting a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. She would wash off her makeup when it was time to go to class so people would take her more seriously. Comparative literature (lyric poetry, performance studied, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Catalan) Why should that matter? The theory goes that symmetrical features may be markers of genetic quality. Human ancestors evolved to find mates that would pass on good genes to offspring, so they would naturally be repelled by traits that would be detrimental to survival or indicators of poor health.

When it comes to facial attractiveness, there are reasons to believe that specific features and biologically based factors guide our assessment of beauty. Early experiences of being the apple of your mother or father’s eye goes a very long way about how you feel about your own looks,” Diller said.

Brain imaging has been done with facial beauty, too. A recent study in Neuroimage found that self-evaluation of one’s own facial attractiveness may be related to self-esteem, based on common patterns of brain activity.
