WHAT COUNTS?

Is it not strange that in society those who are wishing to appear worthy, respectable and trustworthy to in the eyes of other people are actually dressing up to look the part? Would you not rather trust in someone's reliability if he/she were being just him/herself? Would you not honour someone for their way of being rather than for how they are dressed and styled?
How far removed from the true nature of life, namely its spiritual aspects of love and light, a profession or social class is, can be judged by its obsession with titels or exterior appearances, namely suits, impeccable hairstyles etc.
It could thus be said, that the greater the importance of ones exterior appearance and titel bears the less important is the position/service/action/work in question. Because that, which truly counts in life are the inner attitude and the motif for action. If you are acting guided by your will to do good, to help others, to create happiness, to express your love you will naturally and effortlessly cause others to respect you, to trust in you and to see you as worthy of your professional/social status. Whereas if you are relying upon your expensive suits/dresses and your finely polished shoes which are a la mode or your titel to inspire trust in others, to make them respect and honour you, you are deceiving both yourself and others.
