To a lot of people, tribal marks don't make you ugly. You could be without tribal marks and still not be good looking/attractive.

But one should not celebrate others and look down on oneself. We celebrate strength, not weakness.
Whatever happened to the time tested saying, "All in the eyes of the beholder, beauty is"? Our definition of beauty certainly varies.

Nice observations. I can't fault them. A lot of attractive ladies get carried away by it to the point of being snobbish to potential friends and suitors. Much later, they realize this error and try to make up for it, but it is usually when the men don't gravitate to them anymore.

Anger is a terrible thing and a relationship killer. You can write a book on the effect of anger in relationships. It is a turn off for most people. No one wants to spend the rest of their lifetime with an angry person. We all get angry as the case demands but anyone who cannot contain their anger is a danger to everyone else, especially their SOs.

I won't contest that either. But by far, I think the most important asset a person can have is pleasant personality built on love for God.
