The following came up in a humourous discussion, especially as it has become hot and humid lately, with the certain appearances of noticeably irrating bugs.
Why are cockroaches so ugly whilst butterflies are so colourful. All creatures are of the creator so why are some just plain ugly sight. It is a bit body conscious one may ask, but is this perfection thing a joke.
I read also in the news recently that a dog was voted the most ugliest looking dog in the world, yet some people find him "cute". You can google "worlds ugliest dog" and gets lots of hits. Here's one: click for link.
Maybe no-one really cares about the look of the walrus, or that of the duckbill platypus, but given equal footing, would you prefer to keep a bunch of cockroaches (say if they did not bite) the same way as keeping a bunch of bumble bees (if they did not bite) ?
Nature has its ways. How are they bound by the drama cycle.
For the human side, if a Godly Chariot was to look like a leper, would anyone follow ? Or is that body consciousness ? Does physical appearance relate to karma ? i.e no or little karma means a good looking body and face. If so, then what is the image of the perfect human physical appearance ? And thus also what is the image of the perfect looking dog ?
