Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind.
~ From A Midsummer Night's Dream, William Shakespeare
Let's take a look at our own lives. Who are the people we love? Handsome hunks? Drop Dead grogeous girls? Naa. They are all people whose 'inner qualities" we like and are comfortable with.
Fundamental things of value like - warmness, sense of humour, intelligence, comfort levels in their company, care, being non-judgemental etc are what really matters. Love, as they say, starts with the eyes and ends with the soul.
