Becoming Beautiful
Every country has a bright side and every culture has a bright side. Yes, there is a dark side as well, but we can bear in mind that when the dark side is removed the bright side remains.
This is not a sentimental attitude that insists that every little town is ideal, every community is ideal, everybody is perfect. Sometimes I hear the expression, "Everybody is beautiful." The Buddha would say, "Everybody can become beautiful."
