I understand what you are saying, and certainly agree with the idea
that 'ALL' boys have a beauty that is undeniable. However, these
boys you are concerned about face what you mentioned on a daily
basis. Everywhere we look their is someone more attractive, better
physically fit, nicer hair etc. Also, those same boys, I am sure, like
to see beautiful boys as well. I sure did. (and still do)
Michael Angelo sure had no problem celebrating beauty and neither do
I.
But, as you also mentioned, beauty is subjective. I have seen in real
life, as well as in images, boys who at first seem lacking in beauty.
but after pausing a bit, and taking in the whole person, that beauty
seems to emerge.
It is the celebration of "Boyhood" we all share.
Bless you for a heart that cares...
